    <strong>OLD MAN TRAVELLING; ANIMAL TRANQUILLITY AND DECAY, A SKETCH.</strong><s></s>

    The little hedge-row birds,

    That peck along the road, regard him not.

    He travels on, and in his face, his step,

    His gait, is one expression; every limb,

    His look and bending ?gure, all bespeak

    A man who does not move with pain, but moves

    With thought--He is insensibly subdued

    To settled quiet: he is one by whom

    All effort seems fotten, oo whom

    Long patience has such mild piven,

    That patienow doth seem a thing, of which

    He hath no need. He is by nature led

    To peace so perfect, that the young behold

    With envy, what the old man hardly feels.

    --I asked him whither he was bound, and what

    The object of his jo<samp></samp>urney; he replied

    &quot;Sir! I am going many miles to take

    &quot;A last leave of my son, a mariner,

    &quot;Who fr<tt>..t>om a sea-?ght has been brought to Falmouth,

    And there is dying in an hospital.&quot;
