a romantic vision fell to the ground. It now only remains for us to say something of our author as a writer. If the imitation of nature be the business of a poet, Ovid is unrivalled, especially in the descriptions of the passions. His thoughts, which are the pictures of those passions, are such as naturally arise from those disorof a great and polished genius, and he seems to have discovered this imperfection in his riper years, for his later productions are free from it But this alloy in Ovid's writing is sufficiently recompensed by his other excellencies; and, indeed, the fault itself is not without its beauties, for the most severe critic can scarcelyhat the master of it had been a better manager. "Every thing he does," to quote the language of a great poet of our own country, Dryden, who studied and translated Ovid with equal care and elegance, "becomes him; and if sometimes he appears too gay, yet there is a secret gracefulness of youth which accompanies his writings, though
Cephalus and Procris From Cephalus's tragic story, read What fatal mischiefs jealousy may breed. Hear that unhappy wretched huntsman tell, How by his hands his much-lov'd Procris fell. Hear him, lamenting his mischance, complain In the soft Ovid's sadly charming strain. "Happy a while, thrice happy was my life, Blest in a beautiful and virtuous wife. Love join'd us first, and love made life so sweet, We prais'd the gods that 'twas our lot to meet. Our breasts glow'd gently with a mutual flame, The same were our desires, our fears the same. Whate'er one did, the other would approve, For one our liking was, as one our love. Then happy days were crown'd with happier nights And some few months roll'd on in full delights. Joys crowded to appear, and pleasures ran Awhile in circles, ere our woe began. Till I one fatal morn the chase pursu'd Of a wild boar, through an adjacent wood. Where, as I hunted eager on my prey, Aurora stopp'd me in my hasty way. You may believe I do not dare to feig

Elegy X: Ovid tells Graecinus, that he is fallen in love with a couple of ladies. By an unknown hand. What you affirm'd, my friend, is prov'd untrue, That none at once could madly dote on two. Deceiv'd, unarm'd, we Cupid soon o'ercame, And I glow shameless with a double flame. They both are fair, both dress'd so nicely well, That the pre-eminence is hard to tell. Sometimes for this, sometimes for that I burn, And each more beauteous sparkles in her turn. Each claims my passion, and my heart divides As to and fro the doubtful galliot rides. Here driven by winds, and there redriven by tides. Why doubly chain'd ? was not a single fair Enough to load me with perpetual care? Why are more leaves brought to the shady wood, Stars to the sky, or waters to the flood ? Yet better so than not to love at all; Still on my foes may such dull blessings fall. May they, insipidly supine, be spread Along the middle of a widowed bed; While I with sprightliness love's vigil's keep, Stretch'd out for som

ve pity on her pains; the help you give To her, her lover saves, in her I live. From thee this favour she deserves; she pays Her vows to thee on all thy solemn days; And when the Galli at thy altars wait, She's present at the feast they celebrate. And thou, Lucina, who the labouring womb Dost with compassion view, to her assistance come: Nor dost thou, when to thee thy votaries pray For speedy help, thy wanted help delay. Lucina, listen to Corinna's pray'r; Thy votary she, and worthy of thy care. I'll with my off'rings to thy altar come, With votive myrrh thy sacred fane perfume; The vows I make that thou my fair mayst bless, In words inscrib'd, I'll on thy shrine express:- "Ovid, the servant of Corinna, pray'd The goddess here, the teeming dame to aid." Ah, goddess! of my humble suit allow; Give place to my inscription and my vow. If frighted as I am, I may presume Your conduct to direct in time to come, Corinna, since you've suffer'd thus before, Ah, try the bold experiment no more!
