Belov'd and honour'd.

Fos. Well, I thank them for it.
Have you seen Pasqual, the new Doge-
Phy. I have, Sir,

I saw him in his way towards the palace.
Fes. How did he look, Sir?
Phy. Sad and melancholy.
And when he past your former habitation,
He wept.-

Fos. What! did he weep ?---Malipiero, Thou hast a noble soul, and thou art worthy

To wear the ducal cap---What said the people?

Phy. Nothing till they were past, and then some whisper'd

Among themselves---and then there was

a murmur

Of Foscari.

Fos. Ha---think they of me yet? Well, Sir, proceed--

Phy. Then they came

To the ducal palace, where, in full as

sembly,

They offer'd him the coronet.

Fos. And what then?

Phy. Taking it in his hand, he said to them,

"Nobles and Senators of Venice, bear Witness for me, that I sought not this. Ye fore'd it on me, for I wish'd it not, For ye have taken it from a better man.' And then arose so great a noise, some crying

"Long live Malipiero!" and some few Murmuring at your deposition, that He could no more be heard. was told me

By one of the senators.

Enter an Attendant.

Att. My lord, here is

All this

A gentleman who desires to speak with you.

Fos. What can he want with me! let him come.

Enter Pasqual Malipiero (now Doge.) P. M. Excuse me, noble Foscari, for this intrusion.

Fos. You are my Sovereign, Sir, and so need not

Ask an excuse.

P. M. Speak not of SovereignsI come to ask forgiveness from thee-I Have been elected Doge; yet, Foscari, I wish'd it not-I am unworthy to fill The seat so honour'd by thy late dominion.

Would that I could restore to thee the power

Which did so well become thee !
Fos. Wish not so,

Malipiero; thou wilt be to Venice

A better ruler than I could have been;

grown so

not so;

thee well--

I do forgive them who have been the

cause

Of so much ill to me.-(faints.)

I am myself again; but it is for

Which time cannot destroy, nor the rude force

Of hostile elements, that shall remain Unquenchable, eternal; when of those Who have destroy'd thee, of the country which

Thou'st liv'd and died for, not an atom remains

To tell that they once were. E'en on earth Thou shalt not die. In honour's breath

thou liv'st

A second life, more lasting than the first, Which is now ended---and we soon shall

follow,

And be with thee.---O! may we be like thee!

We have now concluded our extracts from this piece, and doubt not

friends!

in thinking favourably of its merits. It certainly is not without faults, but they are the spots of the sun, unnoticed in the blaze of lustre, which overpowers them. We cannot say what kind of a production will issue from the pen of Lord Byron; but if he excels the one of which we have here given a few specimens, we will allow that he has done wonders. The love scenes in this play are beautiful and simple, and abound in the of the Doge in the fourth act is equal most touching pathos. The speech have ever seen, not excepting the dyalmost to any thing of the kind we ing speech of Faliero.

We hope the author will publish this tragedy.

The historical grounds of the piece are but slight. The sentence of young Foscari, and the deposition and subsequent death of the Doge, are warranted by the history of the times; the rest seems merely the creation of the poet's brain. It is time, however, to finish our view of this piece, which we do with a favourauthor. able impression of the talents of the
