THE RIVER ORPHEUS THE SCULPTOR M A B E L, A Sketch. DRAMATIS PERSONAE.

Hoarse ocean-murmurs fall upon mine ears, And round me now prophetic billows heave, As on I go, out-looking through salt tears, Swift floating down the River, Swift floating to the Sea. ORPHEUS.

There are others who ascribe this Invention to Orpheus, and look upon the Cat-call to be one of those Instruments which that famous Musician made use of to draw the Beasts about him.

Eurydice struggles in the clutch of bestial devils; Pluto, like a mediaeval Satan, frowns above the scene of fiendish riot; the violin of Orpheus thrills faintly through the infernal tumult.

The philosophick goddess of Boethius, having related the story of Orpheus, who, when he had recovered his wife from the dominions of death, lost her again by looking back upon her in the confines of light, concludes with a very elegant and forcible application.

O, no, they had rather count the fluttering pulses of their dear boy, cool his fevered brow, and administer the reviving cordial through the weary hours of the night, than to listen to sweetest strains of Orpheus' harp, or thread the winding mazes of the giddy dance.

On Orpheus, written by Antipater.

'No longer, Orpheus, shall thy sacred Strains Lead Stones, and Trees, and Beasts along the Plains; No longer sooth the boistrous Wind to sleep, Or still the Billows of the raging Deep:

I am obliged for the following Essay, as well as for that which lays down Rules out of Tully for Pronunciation and Action, to the Ingenious Author of a Poem just Published, Entitled, An Ode to the Creator of the World, occasioned by the Fragments of Orpheus.

Or steal from Heaven old Orpheus Lute?

ARISTÆ`US, a son of Apollo, the guardian divinity of the vine and olive, of hunters and herdsmen; first taught the management of bees, some of which stung Eurydice to death, whereupon the nymphs, companions of Orpheus, her husband, set upon his bees and destroyed them.

Apollo playing on his stringed instrument presents a very graceful appearance; but fancy a Welsh Orpheus with a face all seamed and scarred by smallpox,a short, fiery button in the middle of his countenance, serving for a nose,a mouth awry and toothless,and two long, dirty, bony hands, with claw-like fingers tipped with dark crescents,and I do not think the picture will be a pleasant one.

The fight for the city is fought In Nature's old domain; Man goes out to the wilds, And Orpheus' charm is vain.
