THE SALE OF LOVES? a ballad,
BY THOMAS MOORE, ESQ.
I dream'd that in the Pa phian giO^es*,
My nets by moonlight laying .
I caught a flight of wanton Loves,
Among the rose buds playing.
Some just had ieft their siiv'ry shell,
While Home were full in feather ;
'So pretty a lot of Loves to sell,
Were ne'er yet strung together.
Come buy my Love*,
3jPome. buy my ^ove#.? ?
Ye (lames and rose iipp'd Misses !
* <?' They're new and bright,
The cost is li};ht, ,
For the coin of this Isle is kisses.
FirACLOBis cafcc, with looks secUle,
The coin on ber lips was ready ;
u I buy," quoi'.i she, 44 my love by weigl\
Full grown if you please and steady."
M Let mine be light,*' said Hanky, 44 prayj
Such lasting toys undo one, '
A light littje Love that wilt last a day, f
To morro^r I'll sport a new one."
' Come buy my Loves,

There's some will keep,
.Some light and cheap,

And pluck sometimes a quill from his wing.

It Uncommon thlai to laugh at
all love stories* and to treat the tale*
of romantic passion as mere fiction
of |hh! ts and novelists, that never
existed in real life. ? My observation*
. on human nature have convinced tne
of the contrary, anil have satisfied
roe that however the surface of the
character may he chilled anil frozen
by the care* of the wbrld, anil the
pleasure* of society* still there is a
warm current of affection running
through the depth* of the coldest
heart, that prevents its being utterl\
concealed. Indeed* I am a ,troe
believer in the Mind deity* and go
to <he full extent of his doctrine*.
Hln I 1 confess it? ? I believe ti
broken hcaiis, and in the po*si)>i,<.
tv of d^ iii^of disappointed love I i
do not. however, consider it ? mala
dy oil en fatal to m> own sex : but i
iiimly believe thai it withers down
" many a lbvcly woman into an earljj
(Upon this position the author ifiake*
some very pertinent remarks? and, fu- t4er
to illustrate the subject, finally closes with
the following pathetic story :)
Every one mufct recollect the tra
gical story of young E , the
Irish patriot, for it was f

troubles in Ireland, he was tried,
condemned, and executed, on a
tharge of treason. His fate made ii
de ep impression on public sympathy.
He was so youug ? s6 intelligent? st
generous ? so brave ? so every thing
that we are apt to like in a young
mau. His couduct under trial, too,
was so lofly and rutrepid. ? The no
ble indignation with which he repel
led the charge of treason against hi*
country? the eloquent, vindication of
his nairte? ; and his paretic appeal to
posterity, in the IkmiV of condemnation
? all these entered deeply into every
generous bonom, and even his ene
mies lamented tye stern policy that
.dictated his execution. .
But there was one heart, whose
anguish it would be in vain to de
scribe. In happier days and fairer
fortunes, he had won the affections
of a beautify 1 aul interesting girl, tlye
daughter of a Ute celebrated Irish
barrister. She loved him with - the
^disinterested fervor of a woman's first
and only love, " W hen every worldly
maxim arrayed itself ngainsi him ;
when blasted in forttroe, and dis
grace and danger darkened around
his name, she loved him irtore ar^
gently for his very Sufferings, U,
then, his fate could awaken the sym
pathy, even of his foes, u hat tnusl
have been the agouy of hvr whose
soul was occupied by hfc? image !
