An Eaftern Tate. Not from grey Hairs true Happiness doth flow, ALMET, the dervife, who the fepulchre of the prophet, as he one day rofe up from the devotions of the morning, which he had performed at the gate of the temple, with his body turned towards the eaft, and his forchead on the earth, faw before him a man in fplendid apparel attended by a long retinue, who gazed ftedfaftly at him with a look of mournful complacence, and feemed defirous to fpeak, but unwilling to offend. The dervife, after a fhort filence, advanced, and, faluting him with the calm dignity which independence confers upon humility, requested that he would reveal his purpose. Almet,' faid the ftranger, 'thou feeft before thee a man, whom the hand of profperity has overwhelmed with wretchednefs. Whatever I once defired as the means of happiness, I now poffefs; but I am not yet happy, and therefore I defpair. I regret the lapfe of time, because it glides away without enjoyment; and, as I expect nothing in the future but the vanities of the paft, I do not wish that the future fhould arrive. Yet I tremble left it fhould be cut off; and my heart finks, when I anticipate the moment, in which eternity fhall close over the vacuity of my life, like the fea upon the path of a fhip, and leave no traces of my existence more durable than the furrow which remains after the waves have united. If, in the treasuries of thy wifdom, there is any precept to obtain felicity, DENHAM. vouchfafe it to me: for this purpor As I was fitting one evening at the porch of the temple, peniive and alone, mine eye wandered among the multitude that was fcattered before me; and, while I remarked the wearinefs and folicitude which was vifible in every countenance, I was fuddenly ftruck with a fenfe of their condition. Wretched mortals, faid I, to what purpofe are ye bufy? If to produce happiness, by whom is it enjoyed? Do the linens of Egypt, and the filks of Perfia, beftow felicity on those who wear them, equal to the wretchedness of yonder flaves whom I fee leading the camels that bring them? Is the fineness of the texture, or the fplendor of the tints, regarded with delight by thofe, to whom cuftom has rendered them familiar? Or can the power of habit render others infenfible of pain, who live only to traverfe the defert; a fcene of dreadful uniformity, where a baṛren level is bounded only by the horizon; where no change of profpect, or variety of images, relieves 4 I the |
