STOURBRIDGE AND OLD SWINFORD.

Deep in the dale industrious Stourbridge stands
Alert with shuttles, looms, and labouring hands—
Old Swinford near erects its pointed spire,
From feverish skies to drain the fluid fire;
When thro' dark ether dread deliriums rave,
Each neighb'ring dome's endanger'd roof to save;
To draw each charge from heav'n-built batteries, loud,
And spike the ordnance of each hostile cloud.
