longs more to the maturity of age than to the inexperienced innocence of childhood; and to the eye of the Christian pilgrim, in the most desolate path of his wanderings, "the shady City of Palm Trees" is visible, and the blackness of the remote horizon often glows with the orient light of the City of Paradise.

those early days, when I
Shised in my angel-infancy.
Or taught my soul to fancy ought
Bat a white, celestial thought,
When yet I had not walkd above
A mile or two from my first love,
And looking back (at that short space)
Could see a

glimpse of his bright face.
When on some gilded cloud or flower
My gazing soul would dwell an hour;
And in those weaker glories spy
Some shadows of eternity.

Oh, how I long to travel back,
And tread again that ancient track !
That I might once more reach that plain,
Where first I left my glorious train

From whence the enlightened spirit sees

The shady City of Palm Trees.

Addressed to the Redeemer.
Since I in storms most used to be,

And seldom yielded flowers,
How shall I get a wreath for Thee

From these rude barren hours ?
The softer dressings of the spring,

Or summer's later store,
I will not for Thy temples bring,

Which thorns, not roses, wore ;
But a twined wreath of grief and praise,

Praise soild with tears, and tears again
Shining with joy, like dewy days,

This day I bring for all Thy pain,
Thy causeless pain, and as sad death,

Which sadness breathes in the most vain,
O, not in vain ! now beg Thy breath,

Thy quickening breath, which gladly bears
Through saddest clouds to that glad place

Where cloudless quires sing without tears,

Sing Thy just praise and see Thy face ! A pretty verse on the burial of an infant should not be omitted :

Blest infant bud whose blossom-life,

Did only look about and fall,
Weary'd out with harmless strife

Of milk and tears, the food of all.

the foundation of the Charter House School, where he highly distinguished himself under Brooks, a celebrated master of that day, whom he afterwards addressed in an epigram, full of attachment and respect. I had hoped, from a reference to the Registers of the School, to have determined the period of his admission, but they contain no entry before 1680. How long he continued there is equally uncertain. He was elected a scholar of Pembroke Hall, March 26, 1632*, and yet we find him lamenting the premature death of his friend, William Herrys, a fellow of the same College, which happened in the October of 1631. Herrys had been originally entered of Christ's, and his relations were persons of property and consideration, in the county of Essex. Crashaw calls him the sweetest among men, and mourced his fate in five epitaphs, one of which was in Latin.

In 1633 he took his Bachelor's Degree, and, in 1634, published anonymously, a volume of Epigrammata Sacra, inscribed to Benjamin Laney, the Master of Pembroke Hall. In the civil war, Laney was deprived of his situation, and suffered much persecution and many hardships for his loyalty.

The guides of the poet's youthful studies were always esteemed, and their memory preserved in his heart. Of Mr. Tournay, the tutor of Pembroke, he spoke in grateful language, as of one who merited his respect f. narrative, written by himself, " of what passed on his being restored to the King's favour, in 1609," is printed in the fifteenth volume of the drchcologia, p. 27. • From the College Register, qunted in Cole's MSS.
