ADDENDA ET CORRIGENDA.

P. 16. The full title of Mr. Rogers's earliest publication is An Ode to Superstition, with some other Poems. The small pieces annexed to the Ode are, lines "To a Lady on the Death of her Lover," "The Sailor," ""A Sketch of the Alps at Day-break," and "A Wish." The first of these Mr. Rogers thought unworthy of preservation but it may be subjoined here:

"To a Lady on the Death of her Lover.

"Hail, pensive, pleasing Melancholy, hail!
Descend, and woo, with me, the silent shade;
The curfew swings its sound along the gale,
And the soft moonlight sleeps in every glade.

She comes, she comes! through **'s dusky grove,
In mild Eliza's form, I see her come!
Mourning with all the widow's vows of love
Her Henry's summons to his long, long home.

But hark! from yon bright cloud a voice she hears!
'No more, fond maid, from social pleasures fly :
'I'm sent from heaven to smile away thy tears,
'For Henry shares the triumphs of the sky.

'He's gone before but to prepare for thee;
'And when thy soul shall wing its willing flight,
'His kindred soul, from all its fetters free,
'Will spring to meet thee in the realms of light.

:

&c.

'Know, ye shall then, with mutual wonder, trace
'Each little twinkling star in yon blue sphere,
'Explore what modes of being people space,

'And visit worlds whose laws he taught thee here.

'Go, act an angel's part, be misery's friend;
Go, and an angel's feelings shalt thou gain.
'Each grateful spirit o'er thy couch shall bend,
'And whisper peace, when flattery's voice is vain.

'Wake from thy trance. Can virtue sink in sighs?

[ocr errors]

When darkness frowns, she looks beyond the tomb.

6 Memory and Hope, like evening stars, arise,
'And shed their mingled rays to gild the gloom.

'Religion speaks. She bids thy sorrows cease:
'With gratitude enjoy what God has given.
'Religion speaks. She points the path to peace :
'Attend her call to happiness and heaven.'"

P. 18, note. Dele the sentence-"One or two songs,"

P. 175, 176. For "Marley" read "Marlay."-He was successively Bishop of Clonfert and Bishop of Waterford.
