Pen and pencil pictures from the poets . E that loves a rosy cheekOr a coral lip admires,Or from star-like eyes doth seek, Fuel to maintain his fires;As old Time makes these decay,So his flames must waste away.

Bui: HEN chill Novembers surly blast<^ Made fields and forests bare,One evening, as I wandered forth Along the banks of Ayr,I spied a man whose aged step Seemed weary, worn with care ;His face was fiarrowd oer with years, And hoary was his hair. Young stranger, whither wanderest thou % Began the reverend sage ; Does thirst of wealth thy step constrain. Or youthful pleasures rage %Or haply, prest with cares and woes, Too soon thou hast beganTo wander forth with me to mourn The miseries of man.
