Jack Harris weds his second wife;
Hal Baylis drives the _wane_ of life;
And blithe Carew--is hung!

Grave Bowers teaches A B C
To savages at Owhyee;
Poor Chase is with the worms!--
All, all are gone--the olden breed!--
New crops of mushroon boys succeed,
"And push us from our _forms_!"


X.

Lo! where they scramble forth, and shout,
And leap, and skip, and mob about,
At play where we have play'd!
Some hop, some run, (some fall,) some twine
Their crony arms; some in the shine,--
And some are in the shade!


XI.

Lo there what mix'd conditions run!
The orphan lad; the widow's son;
And Fortune's favor'd care--
