down a-mong the dead men, down, down, down, down, down a-mong the dead men let him lie.

Let charming beauty's health go round.

In whom celestial joys are found;

And may confusion still pursue

The senseless women-hating crew;
And they that women's health deny,
Down among the dead men let them lie.

May love and wine their rites maintain,
And their united pleasures reign!

While Bacchus' treasure crowns the board,
We'll sing the joys that both afford!
And they that won't with us comply,
Down among the dead men let them lie.

YOUNG ELLEN LORAINE.
Composed by Alexander Lee.

When I part-ed from E-rin, heart-bro-ken to leave thee, I dream'd not of falsehood, young

in danger, And dear was the pe- ril, and sweet was the pain; But PPP ad lib.

now is thy look as the look of a stranger,-Ah! why art thou faithless, young El-len Lo-raine!

O! thou wert the vision that brighten'd my pillow,
The star of my darkness, young Ellen Loraine;
As the bloom to the rose, as the sun to the billow,
Thou cam'st to my slumber, young Ellen Loraine!
Thou'lt think of me yet, when the false world de-
ceives thee,

And friends of gay fortune look cold on thy wane;
When the sheen of thy cheek like the summer-light
leaves thee,
[raine!
Thou'lt think how I lov'd thee, young Ellen Lo-

O! speak not to me-in those eyes I discover
The wrongs thou hast done me, young Ellen Lo-
raine!

Go, rest in the arms of a happier lover ;

Go, lovely, but faithless, young Ellen Loraine!
The moments of rapture, the vow and the token,
They thrill in my bosom, and burn in my brain!
Go, false one, and laugh at the heart thou hast
broken;-

Go, lovely, but faithless, young Ellen Loraine!
