WRITTEN BY A FRIEND, SPOKEN BY MR. H. KEMBLE

TIME rushes o'er us; thick as evening clouds
Ages roll back :--what calls them from their shrouds?
What in full vision brings their good and great,
The men whose virtue make the nation's fate,
The far, forgotten stars of human kind?
The STAGE,-the mighty telescope of mind!

If later, luckless arts that stage profane,
The actor pleads-not guilty of the stain,-
He, but the shadow flung on fashion's tide-
Yours, the high will that all its waves must guide:
Your voice alone the great reform secures,
His, but the passing hour-the age is yours,

Our pledge is kept. Here, yet, no chargers wheel,
No foreign slaves on ropes or scaffolds reel,
No Gallic amazons, half naked, climb
From pit to gallery,-the low sublime!

In Shakspeare's halls, shall dogs and bears engage?
Where brutes are actors, be a booth the stage!
And we shall triumph yet. The cloud has hung
Darkly above-but day shall spring-has sprung-
The tempest has but swept, not shook the shrine;
No lamp that genius lit has ceased to shine!
Still lives its sanctity. Around the spot
Hover high spirits-shapes of burning thought-
Viewless-but call them, on the dazzled eye
Descends their pomp of immortality:
Here, at your voice, Rowe, Otway, Southern come,
Flashing like meteors through the age's gloom
Perpetual here-king of th' immortal band,
Sits SHAKSPEARE Crown'd. He lifts the golden wand,
And all obey;-the visions of the past
Rise as they lived,-soft, splendid, regal, vast.
Then Ariel harps along the enchanted wave,
Then the weird sisters thunder in their cave.-
The spell is wound. Then shows his mightier art,
The Moor's lost soul; the hell of Richard's heart,
