NIGHT IN A CAMP.

From camp to camp, through the foul womb of night, The hum of either army ftilly founds;

That the fixt fentinels almoft receive

The fecret whifpers of each other's watch.
Fire anfwers fire; and through their paly flames.
Each battle fees the other's umber'd, face..
Steed threatens fteed, in high and boastful neighs
Piercing the night's dull ear; and from the tents,
The armourers accomplishing the knights,
With bufy hammers clofing rivets up,.
Give dreadful note of preparation.

The country cocks do crow, the clocks do toll;
And (the third hour of drowfy morning nam'd);
Proud of their numbers and fecure in foul,.
The confident and over-lufty French
Do the low-rated English play at dice;
And chide the cripple tardy-gaited night,.
Who, like a foul and ugly witch, does limp

So tedioufly away. The poor condemned English.
Like facrifices, by their watchful fires

Sit patiently, and inly ruminate

The morning's danger: and their gefture fad,,
Invest in lank-lean cheeks and war-worn coats,,,
Prefented them unto the gazing moon

So many horrid ghofts.

s. Who now beholds

The royal captain of this ruin'd band

Walking from watch to watch, from tent to tent,,
Let him cry, Praise and glory on his head!

For forth he goes and vifits all his hoft,

Bids them good-morrow. with a modeft fimile,

And calls them brothers, friends, and countrymen..
Upon his royal face there is no note,,
How dread an army hath enrounded him;
Nor doth he dedicate one jot of colour
Unto the weary and all-watched night,
But freshly looks and over-bears attaint,

With

With chearful femblance and fweet majefty;

That ev'ry wretch, pining and pale before,ligi oT Beholding him, plucks comfort from his looks.

A

A largefs univerfal, like the fun, Sis buni ameo rod ́T
His lib'ral eye doth give to ev'ry one,
Thawing cold fear.

OPHELIA DROWNIN G.

There is a willow grows aflant a brook,
That fhews his hoar leaves in the glaffy fiream:
There with h fantastic garlands did the come,
Of crow-flowers, nettles, daifies, and long purples,
(That liberal fhepherds give a groffer name;
But our cold maids do dead men's fingers call them ;)
There on the pendant boughs, her coronet weeds
Clamb'ring to hang, an envious fliver broke
When down her weedy trophies and herself
Fell in the weeping brook: her cloaths fpread wide,
And mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up;
Which time the chaunted fnatches of old tunes,
As one incapable of her own diftrefs;

Or like a creature native, and indued

Unto that element: but long it could not be,
"Till that her garments, heavy with their drink,
Pull'd the poor wretch from her melodious lay
To muddy death.

Therefore no more but this: Henry, your Sov'reign,
