But now the crew call'd out To shore! To shore!'

When leaping backward with an angry roar,
The dreadful stranger to a lion turn'd;

His glaring eyes beneath the hatches burn'd:
Then rushing forward, he became a bear,
With fearful change bewildering their despair;
And then again a lion, ramping high

From seat to seat, and looking horribly.

Heap'd at the stern, and scrambling all along,
The trembling wretches round the Master throng,
Who calmly stood, for he had done no wrong.
Oh, at that minute, to be safe on land!

But now, in his own shape, the God's at hand,
And spurning first the Captain from the side,
The rest leap'd after in the plunging tide;
For one and all, as they had done the same,
The same deserv'd; and dolphins they became.

The God then turning to the Master, broke In happy-making smiles, and stoutly spoke :

'Be of good courage, blest companion mine; Bacchus am I, the roaring God of Wine; And well shall this day be, for thee and thine.

And so, all reverence and all joy to thee, Son of the sparkle-smiling Semele!... Must never bard forget thee in his song, Who mak'st it flow so sweetly and so strong.

DEAR B., whose native taste, solid and clear,
The throng of life has strengthen'd without harm,
You know the rural feeling, and the charm
That stillness has for a world-fretted ear:-
'Tis now deep whisp'ring all about me here
With thousand tiny hushings, like the swarm
Of atom bees, or fairies in alarm,

Or noise of numerous bliss from distant sphere.

This charm our evening hours duly restore,—
Nought heard through all our little, lull'd abode,

Save the crisp fire, or leaf of book turn'd o'er,
Or watch-dog, or the ring of frosty road.

Wants there no other sound then?-Yes, one more,-
The voice of friendly visiting, long owed.

HOBHOUSE'S JOURNEY through ALBANIA and OTHER PROVINCES of TURKEY in Europe and Asia; illustrated by Views of Athens, Constantinople, and various other Plates, Maps, &c. Second Edition, with Corrections, 2 vols. 4to. 51. 5s. boards.

"Both the general reader and the scholar may look for no small portion of information and amusement from the present volume. Having thus given a sketch of this massive but entertaining volume, we have only to add our opinion, that should the defects of which we have already spoken be corrected in a future edition by a little more attention to the technicalities of book-making and a revision of some parts of the style, which is at times perversely or provokingly careless; the work itself will have a standard place in all collections of voyages and travels; a place which it will fully merit by the industry and ardour of research conspicuous throughout, as well as by the spirit, vivacity, and good sense of the general narrative."-Quarterly Review, No. 19.

"The Narrative which he has produced, bears unquestionable marks of a curious, capacious, and observant mind; and the same may be said of the poetical production of his friend Lord Byron, who accompanied him on his Travels.-As Reviewers are sometimes charged with a propensity to cavilling, we will not close these introductory remarks without declaring in round terms, in justice to Mr. Hobhouse, and in vindication of ourselves, that we have received as much pleasure and instruction from the perusal of these Travels, as from that of any others which have ever come before us," &c. &c.

Those shores of glory, and to sing them too;
