iful Monument, with the following
Inscription_:

What tho' no sacred earth afford thee room,
Nor hallow'd dirge be mutter'd o'er thy tomb,
Yet shall thy grave with rising flowers be drest,
And the green turf lie lightly on thy breast.
Here shall the morn her earliest tears bestow--
Here the first roses of the year shall blow;
While angels with their silver wings o'ershade
The ground now sacred by thy reliques made.

_At her Feet_:

Reader, if YOUTH should sparkle in thine eye--
If on thy cheek the flow'r of beauty blows,
Here shed a tear, and heave the pensive sigh
Where BEAUTY, YOUTH, and INNOCENCE repose.

Doth wit adorn thy mind?--doth science pour
It's ripen'd bounties on thy vernal year?
Behold! where Death has cropp'd the plenteous store--
And heave the sigh, and shed the pensive tear.

Does Music's dulcet notes dwell on thy tongue?
And do _thy_ fingers sweep the sounding lyre?
Behold! where low she lies, who sweetly sung
The melting strains a cherub might inspire.

Of YOUTH, of BEAUTY, then be vain no more--
Of music's pow'r--of WIT and LEARNING'S prize;
For while you read, those charms may all be o'er,
And ask to share the grave where ANNA lies.

COLBOURNE.

GAMBLING OF HENRY THE EIGHTH.

(_For the Mirror._)

Stowe, in his Survey of London, says, "Neere unto Paul's Schoole, on the
north side thereof, was of old time a great and high _Clochier_, or
Bell-house, four square, builded of stone; and in the same, a most
strong frame of timber, with foure bels, the greatest that I have heard:
these were called Jesus Bels, and belonged to Jesus Chappell, but I know
not by whose gift. The same had a great spire of timber, covered with
lead, with the image of St. Paul on the top; but was pulled downe by Sir
Miles Partridge, knight, in the reign of Henry the Eighth. The common
speech then was, that hee did set one hundred pounds upon a caste at
dice against it, and so won the said clochier and bels of the king; and
then causing the bels to be broken as they hung, the rest was pulled
downe. This man was afterwards executed on the Tower Hill, for matters
concerning the Duke of Somerset, the fifth of Edward the Sixth. In place
of this clochier, of old time, the common bel of the citie was used to
be rung, for the assembly of the citizens to their Folke-motes."
