A ROGUE'S OPINION OF CONSCIENCE.

"I'll not meddle with it; it is a dangerous thing; it makes a man a coward; a man cannot steal but it accuseth him; a man cannot swear but it checks him; a man cannot lie but it detects him. 'Tis a blushing, shame-faced spirit, that mutinies in a man's own bosom; it fills one full of obstacles. It made me once restore a purse of gold that by chance I found; it beggars any man that keeps it. It is turned out of all towns and cities for a dangerous thing; and every man that means to live well, endeavors to trust himself and live without it."

"But thou, O Hope! with eyes so fair,
What was thy delighted measure?
Still it whisper'd promis'd pleasure,

And bade the lovely scenes at distance hail.
Still would her touch the strain prolong,
And from the rocks, the woods, the vale,
She called on echo still through all her song;

And where her sweetest theme she chose,

A soft responsive voice was heard at every close,

And Hope, enchanted, smiled and waved her golden hair."
