Jo those who once had apura'd her in their UinBneas.
War is the fashion of a former age,
Of which the scholar reads with solemn wondcrf
And mutely pities, as he turns the page, :
Jhe madness that kept man and nun asunder.
The weak' dwell safely! right prevails o'er might!
' Law binds it subjects with amoral fettert
All for some end of general good unite,
' And strive to make the world they live fa, bettef.
Is this the phantom of a poet's 'dream,
That mocks him with fleeting thrill of pleasure?
Or doe the future with such glories teem,
And even now give earnest of It treasurer.
Heaven only knows! Meanwhile, let's Ho our beat
To leave this heirloom when in dust we mouldert
Man may enjoy unbroken peace and rest,
'Ere this fair globs ha grown a century older.
