Genethlicon of the United States Magazine.
[_]
THE Cave of Vanhest is too long to be extracted; but the Verses to which the General alludes in the Magazine are the following.
ChiLD of truth and fancy born,
Rising like the beam of morn;
From that shadowy silent place,
Where the ideal shades embrace.
Forms that yet in embryo lie;
Forms of inactivity.

Let me hail thee to the day,
With thy natal honours gay.
Thou art come to visit scenes
Of Italian bowers and greens.
Hear in wild wood notes with me,
What the world prepares for thee.

Statesmen of assembly great;
Soldiers that on danger wait;
Farmers that subdue the plain;
Merchants that attempt the main;
Tradesmen who their labours ply;
These shall court thy company;
These shall say, with placid mien,
Have you read the Magazine?

Have you read the Magazine?
Maids of virgin-beauty fair;
Widows gay and debonnair;
Matrons of a graver age;
Wives whom houshold cares engage;
These shall hear of thee and learn,
To esteem thee more than Sterne;
These shall say when thou art seen,
Oh! enchanting Magazine.
Widows gay and debonnair;
Matrons of a graver age;
Wives whom houshold cares engage;
These shall hear of thee and learn,
To esteem thee more than Sterne;
These shall say when thou art seen,
Oh! enchanting Magazine.
Maids and men shall both agree,
To present their gifts to thee;
Lyric odes and rural lays;
Thoughts of fire and words of praise;
Noble strains and reasonings high,
Of divine philosophy.
These thy gifts the circle gay,
Bringing oft to thee shall say,
(Gazing on thy stars thirteen )
This is for the Magazine.

Gifts shall come to thee from far,
And from lands that nearer are;
From the navigable flow,
Of the Schuylkill stream below;
From each plain and shady grove,
Wash'd by the Delaware above;
From the Hudson river's side;
Or Potomaque spreading wide;
From more distant streams that run,
To the east, or setting sun.

Yes; the bard and sage unborn,
Shall thy beauteous breast adorn,
With the fairest choicest flowers
That the God of genius pours
From the warm enraptur'd mind,
Rich with sense, and fancy join'd.
Rais'd by these the noble name,
Shall ascend in future fame;
In perpetual verdure live,
And the rage of years survive.
