[THE COPY.] BEAUTIFUL CHILD.
(BY THE AUTHOR OF " BEAUTIFUL SXOW. )
Beautiful child, by thy mother's knee, In tliy mystic future what wilt thou be ! A. demon of sin, or an angel sublime — A poison Upa3, or innocent thyme — A spirit of evil flashing down With the lurid light of a fiery crown — Or gliding up with a shining track, Like the morning star that ne'er looks back ? Daintiest dreamer that ever smiled, Which wilt thou be, my beautiful child ? Except that the literary thief has omitted one or two of the verses of the original, a lika similarity can be traced to the end.
