The LASCAR.


IN TWO PARTS.



I.

"Another day, Ah! me, a day
"Of dreary Sorrow is begun!
"And still I loath[errata 1] the temper'd ray,
"And still I hate the sickly Sun!
"Far from my Native Indian shore,
"I hear our wretched race deplore;
"I mark the smile of taunting Scorn,
"And curse the hour, when I was born
"I weep, but no one gently tries
"To stop my tear, or check my sighs;
"For, while my heart beats mournfully,
Dear Indian home, I sigh for Thee!
