; DIEU, a heart fond warm, adieu,
A. Ye Brothers of a myftick tie,
Ye favor’d and enlighten’d few,
Companions of my social joy.
Though I to foreign lands, must hie,
Pursuing fortune’s flipp’ry hall,
With melting heart, and brineful eye,
I’ll mind you flill, when far awa—
Oft have 1 met your social band,
To ipend a chearful, feftive night ;
Oft, honor’d with supreme command,
Presided o’er the {ons of light.
And by that hieroglyphick bright
Which none but craftfmen ever know,
Strong mem’ry on my heart {hall write
Those happy scenes, when far sawa—
.Meg freedom, harmony and love
ement you in the grand design,
Beneath th’ Omniscient Eye, above,
The glorious Architett divine,
That you may keep th’ unerring rule;
Sull guided by tfie Plummet’s law,
Till order bright completely shine,
Shall be my prayer, when far awa—
And you, farewel, whose merits claim
Justly that highest badge to wear ;
May Heaven bless your noble name,
- T'o malonry and Scotia dear.
A lait request permit me then,
Wheén yearly you’re aflembled all,
One reund, I ask it with a tear,
To him, the friend, that’s far cwa—
And you, kind-hearted fifiers, fair,
I sing farewel to all your charm ;
Th’ impreflion of your pleasing air,
With rapture oft my heart did warm ;
Alas ! the social winter’s night
No more returns, while breath we draw,
T'ill Siflers, Brothers, all unite
In that Grand Lodge, that’s far awa.—

The ParTY-COLOURED SHIELD,
With hafly judgment ne’er decide ;
lirft hear what’s said on either fide.
IN the days of knight-errantry and peganifm,
one of our old Britz/k princes set up a flatue
to the goddels of Vittory, in a point where
four roads met together. In her right-hand she
held a [pear, and rested her left upon a shield :
‘The outside of this {hield was of gold, and the
inside of silver. On the former was linfcribed,
in the old Briti/h language, 1o the goddess ever
Javourable ; and on the other, For four wvitto
rics obtained successively over the Pilts and other
whabitants of the Northern Islands.
It happened one day that two knights com
pletely armed, the one in b/ack armour, and the
other in white, arrived from opposite parts of the
country at this statue, jult about the fame time ?
and as neither of them had seen it before, they
flopped to read the inscriptions, and observe the
excellence of its workmanthip. After contem
plating on it for some time, This go/den shield,
fays the black knight—=Golden shield, cried the
white knight, (who was as ftriétly observing the
opposite fide) why, if I have my eyes, itis silver.
I know nothing of your eyes, replied the black
Knight, but if ever I saw a gol/den thield in my
life, thisisone : Yes, returned the white knight,
{miling, 1t is very probable, indeed, that they
would expole a shield of gold in {o public a place
as this 1 Yor my part, I wonder even a silver one
1s not too {ftrong a temptation for the devotion
of some people that pals this way : and it ap
pears by the date that this has bezen here above
three years. The black knight could not bear
the smile with which this was delivered, and
grew {o warm in the dispute, that it {foon ended
in a challenge : they both therefore turned their
horses, and rode back so far as to have fufficient
space for their career, then fixed their spears in
their rests, and flew at each other with the great
efl fury and impetuofitw Their shock was so
rude, and the blow on each fide so effeftual,
that they both fell to the ground, much wound
ed and bruised, and lay there for some time as in
atrance, A good Druzd, who was travelling
that way, found them in this condition. The
Druzds were the physicians of those times, as
well as the priests. He had a sovereign balsam
about him, which he had composed himfelf, for
he was very fkilful in all the plants that grew in
the ficlds, or in the forefls ; he staunched their
blood, applied his balsam to their wounds, and
brought them asit were from death to life again.
As {oon as they were {ufficiently recovered, he
began to enquire into the occasion of their
quarrel. ¢ Why, this man,” cried the black
knight; ¢¢ will have it, that the shield yonder is
silver.” ¢¢ And he will have it,” replied the
whate knight, ¢ that it is gold,”” and then told
him all the particulars of the affair. ¢« Ah |»
said the Druid, with a sigh, youare both of you,
my brethren, in the right, and both of gou in
the wrong ; had either of you given himfelf
time to look upon the opposite fide of the
shield, as well as that which firft presented itfelf
to view, all this passion and bloodshed might
have been avoided ; however, there 1s a very
good leflon to be learned from the evils that
have befallen you on this occasion. Permit me
therefore to intreat you, by all odr gods, and by
this goddefls of viftory 1n /lparticular, Never to
enter into any dispute for the future, tillyou hqye |
fil)’ considered both sides of the quoftion,” 4
