And pure, bright, heavenly joys henceforth illume your heart!

AN ODE
WRITTEN ON THE TWELFTH-NIGHT AFTER CHRISTMAS.

....... .......... ...

The New Year has commenced,

And the season is mild;

Should our hearts be condensed,

Like an obstinate child?

....... .......... ...

Sing, sing to the harp, to the year that is past;

To the year now a coming, fill, fill to the brim;
