POETRY BY THE LATE MR. JUSTICE HARDINGE. GENTLEMEN, To the Editors. As the name of the late Mr. Justice Hardinge was so frequently and honourably mentioned in the interesting memoir of the Rev. Edward Davies, which appeared in the Cambrian Quarterly Magazine, vol. iii., p. 408, I flatter myself that the following stanzas written by him, but never published, may prove acceptable to your readers. The song was enclosed in a letter to me, of which the following is a copy: SIR, No. 1, Cumberland place; July 6, 1804. Mrs. Parry (as I understood) of Gressford Lodge, near Wrexham, wrote to Sir Foster Cunliffe, and recommended a ballad of mine to your notice through him; but I have had no advices from him, and, therefore, I take the liberty of soliciting you myself. I am such an admirer of your music, that I wish, of all things, to have these fugitive thoughts of mine honoured with your adaptation. To Mr. John Parry. Yours, &c. GEORGE HARDINGE. TO FANNY. Он, Fanny! could my heart suspect But nature smiles, and blames the fear By innocence carest. Her beam is like the parting ray A genial spirit, fancy's child, I have only to add that the manner in which I set the above elegant lines to music, met with the approbation of the learned author.
