Thanks to the heavenly power

That ill and good allots, a judgment stern

Has easement in a graceful piety;

And we the happy progeny of mirth,

Shed like the sun a radiance o'er the earth!

VOICE FROM THE GARRET.

The bread gave out, the work

Fell off on which did hang our life,

And trembling sat before the fireless hearth

My mother, and watched me.
