THE DRAMA.

Where lightens now, the Drama's vivid eye
Whose glance reform'd where'er its beams could fly?
Who when Desire was fond, and art was young,
So rudely sported, and so simply sung?
Yet, when thy realm was wild, and dark with fate,
Could charm the tumult, and allay the state?
Could gently touch the film, that made the blind,
And new d y o'er thine infatuate miad?
pour
Where, now, thy lofty muse, thou hard divine?
Who bade a nation's wealth adorn her shrine!

Who, grac'd their passions, and their pride to move.
A people's homage, and a Senate's love,

[merged small][ocr errors]
[merged small][merged small][ocr errors]

Who with her pencil mov'd the state-machine,
And swayed a faction, as she turn'd a scene
With art's last glories bade her temple flame,
And gave to Virtue all she won from Fame;
Who o'er a realm her vast proscenium threw,
And saw all Athens in one splendid view;
With Attick genius moral truth impress'd,
And taught a nation while she charin'd a guest!
Bare and defenceless to the blast of war,
The gates of Greece receiv'd the victor's car;
Chain'd to his wheels, was captive Faction led,
And Taste transplanted bloom'd at Tyber's head,
O'er the rude minds of Empire's hardy race,
The opening popil beam`d, of letter'd grace,
With charms so sweet, the kouseless Drama smild,
That Rome adopted Athen's orphan child :
With bounty cloth'd her, and with kindness cheer'd,
Her fancy copied, and her satire fear'd
Vice, fashion, folly-to her power resign'd,
And bow'd an empire to the muse's mind.
Wealth, honour, fame, her Cesar's hand bestow'd,
Wit, virtue, graces repaid the debt she ow'd ;

Life breath'd in fable, eloquence in mien,

And Manners taught how Morals should be seen.
From Beauly' (ouch no mail could guard the heart,
Rome conquer'd science, and was rul'd by art.
Transplanted Athens, in her Stage review'd.

THE DRAMA,

Agustan Rome, with sad, prophetic eye,
Beheld her empire circle round the sky;
And saw along the ever rolling view,
Her shadow tremble, as her pennons few.
Around her throne Pretorian cohorts stood,
Yet Fiction govern'd what her arms subdu'd,
O'er vassal man she dur'd not reign alone,
And call'd the Drama to support her throne;
And shook her sceptre, and her legions led,
When spoke the Larva, or the Arena bled,
At length, though buge of limb, by power oppress'd,
Groaning with Slavery's mountain on their breast,
Her giant nations struggled from dis race,
And Rome, like Etna, totter'd to the base.
Thus set the sun of intellectua! light,

And wrapp'd in clouds, lower'd on the Gothic night,
Dark gloom'd the Storm,-the rushing torrent pour'd,
And wide the deep Cimmerian deluge roar'd,
K'en Learning's loftiest hills were cover'd oer,
And seas of dulness roll'd without a shore,
Yet, ere the surge Parnassus' top o'er how'd,
The banish'd Muses fled their blest abode,
Frail was their ark, the heaven-topp'd seas to brave,
The wind their compss, and their helm the wave:
No port to cheer them, and no star to guide,
From shore to shore they rov'd the billowy tide;
At length, by storms and tempests wafted o'er,
They found an Arrarat on Albion's shore.
