FOR THE ALEXANDRIA URRALD*
THE CEDAR TWIG,
Written by a voting gentleman, on being
presented with a small branch of cedar
by a young lady.
The cedar twig my theme shall be,
For Sappho gave the twig to me t
The twig that From the lovely maid,
Electric darts to me convey’d.
Four little balls upon it grew,
That plcaa’d me as they caught my view ;
From which ihaie flew electric flame,
That thrill’d my heart, 8c shook my frame.
But this was not so quickly spent,
As darts from balls metaiic sent:
For tho* some weel^s have had their round.
Ym still I feel the lasting wound—
And though the twig itself may fade,
And lose the charms it once displayed, ,
Yet a*ili the keen perennial dart,
WiP e\ct live to pierce my heart.
Then HappUo let me thee intreat,
Bv all the tics that are most sweet,
When next thou giv’st a twig to me,
To pluck it from the myrtle tree.
ARIOSTO.
