DISCONTENT.
(Hi, all my pleasant, peaceful joys Are now replaced by woes, I cannot love the daffodil Since I have smelled Die rose. Where once perfection I beheld, -Alas, defects I mark; I cannot love the bobolrnkSince I have heard the lark. I waa contented all the day. But now I ever pine; I cannot love the draught of milk Since I have tasted wine. No more I’d hide in Arcady, I weary of the scene; I cannot love the shepherdess Since I have seen the queen. -‘Life.’
