Poetry
If thou woulds't Stoop to wake a String
Which nought but grief can play;
If thou woulds't Plume thy Cyren wing
To lure but not bewray;
If thou shoulds't bruise a bended reed
Or break a yielding heart;
I will not blame the causeless deed
That wings so keen a dart:
I may have been a willing Slave
To loves bewildering Sway
My fate was cast upon a wave
I never Sought to Stay
I may have bow'd my haughty will
To passions fondest Toy
And ever deemed the faithful Still
Aye and loved thee, like a boy
I dream't an Angel heart was mine
Its passions and its fears
I thought that Angel heart was thine
And blessed it with my tears;
To love is to endure - but pride
Once scorned will plead no more
Even so the Heart which slight hath tried
Spurns love for evermore. -

An Itinerant Dealer in Cattle
and Sheep having disposed of his
Scabby Sheep and Cattle at Mel
bourne returned to Sydney lately
(as we are informed) and has
taken great pains to Slander
this rising community - yet strange
to say he has returned to the People
he has so vilified this if well
Known at Sydney would quite
refute his Calumnies. -
