To a Cantatrice

Part of the cluster MESSENGER LEAVES.

To a Cantatrice.

HERE, take this gift! I was reserving it for some hero, orator, or general, One who should serve the good old cause, the prog- 
 ress and freedom of the race, the cause of  
 my Soul; But I see that what I was reserving belongs to you  
 just as much as to any.
