MAN Was MADE 10 MOURN. DIRGE.
BY ROBERT BURN.

WHEN chill November's furly blaft
Made fishis and forefts bare,
One ning as I wander d forth, Along the banks of Ayr,
I fpy a man, whole aged ftep Seemed weary, worn with care: Hisface was furrow with years, And heary was his hair.
Young Aranger whither wand'reft thou Began the rev'rend fage Does thirt of wealth thy flep con- frain, Or youthful pleafures rage Or, baply prefs'd with cares & woes, Too from thou halt began, To wander forth, with me, to mourn The miferies of man
The fun that overhangs yon moors, Outfpreading far and wide, Where hundreds labor to fupport
A baughty lordling's pride: I've feen you weary winter fun Twice forty times return And every time has added proof, That man was made to mourn.
o man while in thy early years, How prodigal of time Mifpending all thy precious hours, Thy glorions youthful prime ! Alternate fullies rake the Tway Licentions paffions burn With tenfold force give nature's law, That man was made to mourn.
Look not alone on youthful prime, Or manhoods active might; Man then is ufeful to his kind, Supported is his right; Butfee him on the edge of life, With cares and forrows worn Then age and want, 0! ill-matched pair! Show man was made to mourn.
A few feem favorites of fate, In pleafures lan carefi'd Yet think not all the rich and great Are likewife truly bleft. But 01 what crowds in every land, All wretched and forlorn, Through weary life, this leflon learn, That man was made to mourn
Many, and Sharp the num' rous ills, Inwoven with our frame! More pointed ftill, we make ourfelves, Regret, remorfe and Chame! And man, whofe heaven erected face The finiles of love adorn, Man's inhumanity to man, Makes counclefs thoulands mourn.
See yonder, poor o'er labor'd wight, So abject, mean and vile, Who begs a bro her of the earth give him leave 10 roll And fee his lordly fellow worm The poor petition fpurn, Unmindful, though a weeping wife, And helplefs orphans mourn!
If I'm defign'd you lordling's flave, By nature's law defign'd, Why was an independent with, E'er planted in my mind ! If not, why am 1 fubject to His cruelty and feorn Or, why has man the will & power, To make his fellow mourn.
Yes, let not this too much. my fon, Difturb thy youthful breaft : This partial view of human kind, Is, furely, not the LAST The poor, oppretied, boneft man, Had never, fure, been born, Had there not been forme recompenie, To comfort thofe that mourn.
o Death The poor man's deareft friend, The kindeft and the beft I Welcome the hour my aged limbs Are laid with thee, to reft The great, the wealthy, fear thy blow,
From pomp and pleafure torn Bor, a blefl relief to thefe That, Jaden, mourn.
About the year 1727, when fettlers of this country were as pro- verbial for their prejudices as ever the lieft fettlers of Plymouth were, an old woman about 120 miles from Rich- mond, on James river, was fo unfor- tunate as to have a fow litter a pig with with two rails. This circum- flance foon overran the fertlement. A general alaim was fpread and the parfon of the Parith was reforted to by the tghted people to account for this wonderful phenomenon. The fage divine, after duly confidering the affair, declared, that as all pigs by nature were endowed with but one tail, it was probable that the devil was officious in the generation of this litter, and as he cannot make any thing perfect, thefe two tails were left as a mark of his imperfection he parfon further obferved, that as other neighbours had fows, on whom the C. vil fpirit might have tried his opeΓa- tions, his partiality for this old woman was a proof that the mull have a con nection with him, and that the could be nothing lefs than a witch. The poor woman was immediately appre. hended, and it was determined to tie her up in a fack and throw her into the river, when if the Hoared the was a witch, and mult be bung if the funk then the was innocent. A vall con- courfe of people attembled on the banks to fee the operation and while the church wardens were abfolutely engaged in drawing the bag over her, a col. Taylor, who was lately arrived from Ireland, hit on the following Aratagem to fave her By my foul (faid he to the war. dens) " ye are all wrong you know notning of witches now in Ireland, we have found our a much furer way without half the trouble the people were anxious to hear the Bith me- thod (fays the colonel) my jewels, we putibe woman in one feale and the big church bible in the 0- ther if the bible outweighs the wo. man. the is a wirch, and muff be burnt bat it the woman is the hea- vieft, the is no witch by my foul The col's method was approx of : the trial made; and thus the life of a woman preferved, who, but for col. Taylor's Aratagem, muft have fallen a facrafice to the ignorance and pre- judices of an illiterate people.
