Cornwallis .
His Monumentis placed against one of thegreat piers between the Dome and
the Choir, opposite Lord Nelson's, and its classical design consists of a pyra
midal group. On a circular pedestal, or rather a truncated columo, is placed the
figure of Lord Cornwallis, standing in the robes of the Order of the Garter. The
two principal figures, forming the base of this group , are personifications of the
British Empire in Europe, and in the East , represented , not as mouroing, but as
doing honour to the memory of a faithlulservant of the State , and of the Public,
whose virtues and whose talents, during a long life, had been so eminently useful
to his country ,
The other figures represent the Bagareth , one of the great rivers in India,
and the Ganges, being the right branch of the Bagareth : the latter of which
is scated on a calabash . — The following inscription does honour to the illustrious
individual, to whose memory this Cenotaph is erected amongst the recording

To Promote the interest and llonour of his Country .

Sweet Dora !-where is now thy thought, And every night from Hybla's hills
And where thy melting eye ? The wild bee's comb he brings ,
If kindred souls commune in aught, And health in every cup be fills
Thy own may hover nigh , At Chios' cavern -springs.
Perhaps thou see'st the cold moon's face She rests on the ripe pomegranate's flowers,
Half-bid in floating shade , With soft sleep on ber eyes,
And think'st how soon the silver trace As the jasmine-branch among scarlet
Of memory may fade : bowers
But think not thus - unseen awhile Pale in its beauty lies.
The clouded moon may shine, And she is fresh and lovely still
Yet higher heavens possess her smile, As in her bridal bloom ;
As Fancy looks on thine. Lovely as if an angel's skill
Not in this hour of gorgeous light Had rais'd her from the tomb.
A thought of me recall, And now again the gallant prow
Nor when thy maids with sandals bright Comes lightly to the sands,
Bound in the lattic'd hall ; And at its helm with hooded brow
But when on Corfu's holy place The muffled pilot stands.
Thy virgin- footsteps pause, “ Lady ! -- thy bridal scarfprepare ,
And be who claims thee from thy face St. Saffra's churchmen wait ;
Dares lift the sacred gauze ; The garland and the torch are there,
Then send a thought to Malta's isle, The bridegroom at the gate :
Then , Dora , think on me ; Return in peace !-but when for thee
More than the kindest, loveliest smile, The bridal feast they trim ,
I prize one sigh from thee. Think , tho' thou gav'st thy love from me,
Yet no— when hope and joy are nigh, I gave thee life for him !
The fruitless thought repress ; Go to thy home !-our island- rock
0 !-I could blame the briefest sigh With spires and tow'rs is crown'd ,
That made thy triumph less : But only in one sunbright spot
Or breathe it gently from thy heart, The balsam - tree is found :
And leave the cause anguess'd ; And in my memory this hour
' Twould be too keen a pang to part , Shall be the sunbright spot,
And not believe thee blest. The blighted desert's secret bow'r,
There is a thought that dare not glow The balsam of my lot,
A sigh that shall not swell : I win a treasure none can buy,
With me to other lands they go
A triumph none can tell ;
My native isle, farewell !" I win thy blessing and thy sigh
Land of my love , farewell !” V.

POETRY.
A BRIDAL SERENADE , Slowly he cross'd Life's narrow tide ,
BY A MODERN WELSH HARPER . While Love sat clapping his wings, and
VILT thou not waken , Bride of May, cried ,
" Who will pass Time ? "
sweet bells chime ? Patience came first, but soon was gone
Listen and learn from my roundelay , With helm and sail to help Time on ;
How all Life's pilot. hoais sail'd one day Care and Grief could not lend an oar,
A match with Time, And Prudence said (while he stay'd on
Love sat on a lotos- leaf aboat , shore) ,
Aod saw old Time in his loaded boat ; " I wait fo: Time !"
356 Poetry . [ April

Hope filled with flowers her cork- tree-bark , THE EXILE.

And lighted its helm with a glow-worm VHERE, wayward wanderer,from thy
spark : WH home,
Then Love, when he saw her bark fly fast; Weary and wasted , wouldst thou roam
Said " Lingering Time will soon be past ! Along the dreary way ?
Hope out-speeds Time !" Do other climes thy presence court ?
Wit went nearest old Time to pass, Does Fortune deign with thee to sport,
The infant of her play ?
With his diamond oar and his boat of glass ;
A feathery dart from his store he drew, Where sbines the sun with warmer beam ,
And shouted while far and swift it few Or tinges with a brighter gleam
“ O Mirth kills Time !" The west's extreinity ,
Where sheds the moon at stillof night,
But Time sent the feathery arrows back , A clearer stream of liquid light,
Hope's boat of amarantis miss'd its track , Thro ' the wide- vaulted sky ?
The Love bade his butterfly pilots move ,
And laughing said , They shall see how Whose care shail soothe thy aching head ?
Love Whose gentle voice uhy thonghts sball lead
Can conquer Time.” To hopes of better time ?
Whose smile shall welcome thy approach,
His gossamer sails he spread with speed , Or friendly hand dispose thy couch,
But Time has wings when Time has need ; Far in a distantclime :
Swiftly he crossd Life's sparkling tide, Whose tear shall tell the tale of sorrow ,
And only Memory stay'd to chide As thou revewest, on the morrow,
Uppitying Time. Thy weary pilgrimage ?
Or should disease thy form oppress
Wake and listen then , Bride of May ! With bitter pain , or lone distress,
Listen and heed thy minstrel's rhyme - Whose shall these ills assuage ?
Still for thee some bright bours stay ,
For it was a band like thine, they say, Then, wanderer, hence no farther roam ,
Gave wings to Time. Quit not thy hearth and native home,
V. Thy bills and fertile plains :
Here plenty cheers the peasant's lot,
Health gilds with smiles his humble cot,
Here blest Conteniment reigos. A.

Almost too old your care to feel. May timely Prudence, Heav'nly Maid ,
Exert her cautious pow'r,

And blessing others here below , To ring life's curtain knell.
