fr-fl ir ■ '■ V ■I >*■ • FOR HIE CAMBRIAN. A SOLILOQUY, TiVoic bit a' Pason on his own Birth-day, HAVE I Aiien lii -'d to see twelve Justra pibt, How lite nnnotic'c! skab awav-how tast? And what of real wisdom do I know- More than I did fell forty years ago ? Tho' thrice ten years, and move to thcia subjoin'd, ri: I've, spent" to cultivate 111." heart and mind, Yet much I wish, I want, I ought to know, And more than I have done remains to-do. Now looking bar.k, as from a landing-place, I find I've travell'd. but a trifling space; Whence then can those iU-jndged transports How, Which some each, year in birth-day revels slienv Is it—that they a year have less to live? Or that they are sure heav'n will another give ? All who can say-This day's within my power, It wiH be soon like those whichwellt before Fled too fur distant, ever.to recall- As much a past one, as the lirst of all. Devoutly then my birth-day will I spend, Lament ) he past year—try the next to mend lietii;'a from the busy world, once more Live o'er again in thought each well-spent hour; And thinbng of the hours I've idly spent, I'll drop a tear, then hasten to repent.. "Vben I consider all the years are flown by possession once had made lilY own, And that there's only left.within my pow'r The passing moment of the present hour Before my Great Creator I will kneel, His aid implore to spend that moment well; Breathe out my soul with a relenting sigh, And beg of richest grace a fresh supply; Beg to bemoan my mis-spent time that's past, And grace each day to live, as if my last. To thee, Q God, then here I humbly bow, Thy greatness own, my nothingness avow If hitherto I've pass'd my days in vain, I ask not to live o'er my life again Give me the Savionr and myself to know, A mind superior to this world below 0 give me wisdom to be truly wise, Wise to salvation-this shaft me suffice. Then shall I happy be, my God, with thee, In life, in death, and to eternity." G.
