[The Editor is exceedingly thankful to Monimia for the three different views of Winter, which she has so beautifully contrasted.—The first is presented to the admirers of Poesy, the two latter shall follow in rotation.]
THE BELLE’S INVOCATION TO WINTER.
Winter, dear season of delights,
Of joyous days and brilliant nights!
Oh haste, on swiftest pinions haste,
For summer’s lingering hours are past,
And dreary Autumn ready stands
To yield the sceptre to thy hands.
