| thanked me; |7|

◄ And | bade me,

if I had a | friend that | loved her, | I should but | teach him | how to tell my story, | And that would | woo her.

1111117 Upon | this |

hint, I spake: 77771

She loved me for the dangers I had pass'd;

And I loved | her, ❘ that she did | pity them. 771 This only is the witchcraft I have used.

That hellish | foes, con- | federate for his | harm, |

Can | wind a- | round him,

With as much | ease

withes. |

He looks a- | broad

not a

but he | casts it | off |

as | Samson his | green |

into the | varied | field

Of nature, and though | poor, per- | haps, com- | pared

With those whose | mansions | glitter in his | sight, |7| Calls the de-lightful | scenery | all his | own.

His are the mountains;

and the | valleys | his; |

And the re- splendent | rivers! |

With a pro- | priety that | none can | feel |

But who with filial | confidence in- | spired |

Can lift to heaven an | unpre- | sumptuous | eye, |

And, smiling, say, "My | Father | made them | all!" 771 1

Are they not his | by a pe- | culiar | right, |

And by an emphasis of interest | his, |

Whose eye they | fill with | tears of | holy | joy, |

Whose heart with | praise, | and | whose ex- | alted |

A | liberty like | his, | who, | unim- | peached |

He is indeed a | freeman: || free by | birth

Of no mean | city, | planned or | ere the hills

Were built, the fountains | opened, or the sea,

With all his | roaring | multitude of | waves. 71

His freedom is the same in every | state, |

And no con- | dition of this | changeful life,

So manifold in cares, whose | every | day |
Brings its own | evil with it, makes it | less; 71

For he has | wings, that neither | sickness, | pain,

Nor | penury,

No nook so

LEONATO'S GRIEF AT THE LOSS OF HIS
DAUGHTER.

IN misery counsel is of no | weight.

I pray thee, | cease thy | counsel, |

Which falls into mine | ears as | profitless |

As | water in a | sieve: || give not | me | counsel: |

Nor | let no | comforter de- | light mine | ear, |

But such a one whose | wrongs do | suit with |

mine. 771

Bring me a father that | so | loved his | child, |

Whose joy of her is | over- | whelmed like | mine, |
And bid him | speak of | patience;

Measure his woe the | length and | breadth of | mine,

And let it | answer | every | strain for | strain, |
I

As thus for | thus, and | such a | grief for | such, |
In every lineament, | branch, | shape, and | form : |
If such a one will | smile, and | stroke his | beard; |
Cry-sorrow, wag! | and | hem, when he should |

groan; | I

Patch | grief with | proverbs; || make mis- | fortune |

drunk

With candle-wasters:

bring him | yet to | me, |

And I of | him will | gather | patience.

But there is no | such | man: for, | brother, | men

Can | counsel, and | speak | comfort to that | grief

Which they them- | selves not | feel; but, | tasting it, | Their | counsel | turns to passion, which be- | fore Would give pre- | ceptial | medicine to | rage, | 91 Fetter strong | madness in a | silken | thread, |9

Charm | ache with | air, and | agony with | words. |77| No, no; 'tis | all men's | office to | speak | patience

To those that | wring under the | load of | sorrow: |

But no man's virtue, nor suf- | ficiency, |

To be so | moral, | when he shall en- | dure

The | like him- | self: | | therefore give me no | counsel,

My griefs cry | louder than ad- | vertisement. 991791

SHAKSPEARE.

CHARITY TO OPINION.

AFTER all the expla- | nation of the simple | principles of religious freedom, to which the world has

listened,

men | still | find a | difficulty in | understanding | how | zeal and | charity can | dwell to- | gether in the same bosom― | how a man can be | warmly at- | tached to his | own | views, and at the same | time | kindly dis- | posed | towards | every | fair | effort that may be made in favor of opposite o- | pinions. The charity which | we would | cultivate is no in- explicable | feeling, and, I | trust, | no | hollow pre- | tension. | As we | seek the | truth, | and | as we must be | conscious that our | own | views, how- | ever | warmly | held, | ▼ have | been formed | under a | lia- | bility to | error, |7| we have | one | interest with | all | those who | give us | reason to be- | lieve that they | cherish the | same | feeling, | ◄ what-ever their par- | ticular o- | pinions may | be. |1| There is a fellowship | be- | tween | them and | us, |◄ in com-parison with | which the | ties of sect,

| and | articles, | and | written | formulas,

of | creeds,

are as the

| dead | letter to the | un- | dying | spirit-as | matter to | It is a fellowship which | no |
