POETRY.

The ENCHANTED FRUIT; or, The HINDU WIFE:

An Antediluvian Tale.-Written in the Province of BAHAR.

Lovely age, (a) by Brahmens fam'd

Pure Setye Yug (b) in Sanscrit nam'd!
Delightful! Not for cups of gold,

Or wives a thousand centuries old;
'Or men, degenerate now and small,
'Then one and twenty cubits tall:
'Not that plump cows full udders bore,
And bowls with holy curd (c) ran o'er;
Not that, by Deities defended

Fish, boar, snake, lyon, (d) heav'n-descended,
• Learn'd Pundits, now grown sticks and clods,
'Redde fast the nagry of the Gods (e)

And laymen, faithful to Narayn (ƒ)

Believ'd in Brahma's mystick strain; (g)
'Not that all subjects spoke plain truth,
While Rajas cherish'd eld and youth,
No-yet delightful times! because
'Nature then reign'd, and nature's laws;
"When females of the softest kind

• Were unaffected, unconfin'd;

And this grand rule from none was hidden; (h)
'WHAT PLEASETH, HATH NO LAW FORbidden.'
Thus, with a lyre in India strung,

Aminta's poet would have sung;
And thus too, in a modest way,
All virtuous males will sing or say:
But swarthy nymphs of Hindustan
Look deeper than short-sighted man,
And thus, in some poetick chime,
Would speak with reason, as with rhyme :

O lovelier age, by Brahmens fam'd,
'Gay Dwapar Yug (i) in Sanscrit nam'd!

< Delightful!

(a) A parody on the Ode in Tasso's Aminta, beginning, O bella eta dell' oro'! (5) The Golden Age of the Hindus.

(4) Called Joghras, the food of Crishna in his infancy and youth.

(d) The four first avatars, or incarnations of the divine spirit.

() The Sanscrit, is written in letters so named.

(f) Narayn or Narayan, the spirit of God.

(g) The Vedas, or sacred writings of Brahma.

(b)" Se piace, ei lice." Tasso.

The Brazen Age, or that in which vice and virtue were in equal proportion.
