ELEGY.

By WILLIAM JULIUS MICKLE.

ΤΗ

Quod tibi vita fors detraxit,
Fama adjiciet pofthuma laudi;
Noftris longum tu dolor et honor.

HE balmy Zephyrs o'er the woodland ftray,
And gently ftir the bofom of the lake:
The fawns that panting in the covert lay,
Now thro' the gloomy park their revels take.

Pale rife the rugged hills that fkirt the North,
The wood glows yellow'd by the evening rays,
Silent and beauteous flows the filver Forth,
And Aman murmuring thro' the willows ftrays.
