Thy advice, then, I’ll adhere to, Since in Cupid’s chains I’ve led him, And with Henry shall not fear to Marry, if you answer, “Wed him.” _Echo._—Wed him, wed him. PASQUINADE. The following squib, cited by Mr. Motley in his _Dutch Republic_, from a MS. collection of pasquils, shows the prevalent opinion in the Netherlands concerning the parentage of Don John of Austria and the position of Barbara Blomberg:— —sed at Austriacum nostrum redeamus—eamus Hunc Cesaris filium esse satis est notum—notum Multi tamen de ejus patre dubitavere—_vere_ Cujus ergo filium cum dieunt Itali—_Itali_ Verum mater satis est nota in nostra republica—_publica_ Imo hactenus egit in Brabantiâ ter voere—hoere Crimen est ne frui amplexu unius Cesaris tam generosi—osi Pluribus ergo usa in vitâ est—ita est Seu post Cesaris congressum non vere ante—ante Tace garrula ne tale quippiam loquare—quare? Nescis quâ pœna afficiendum dixerit Belgium insigne—igne, &c. THE GOSPEL ECHO. _Found in a pew in a church in Scotland, written in a female hand._ True faith producing love to God and man, Say, Echo, is not this the gospel plan? _Echo._—The gospel plan! Must I my faith in Jesus constant show, By doing good to all, both friend and foe? _Echo._—Both friend and foe! When men conspire to hate and treat me ill, Must I return them good, and love them still? _Echo._—Love them still! If they my failings causelessly reveal, Must I their faults as carefully conceal? _Echo._—As carefully conceal! But if my name and character they tear, And cruel malice too, too plain appear; And, when I sorrow and affliction know, They smile, and add unto my cup of woe; Say, Echo, say, in such peculiar case, Must I continue still to love and bless? _Echo._—Still love and bless! Why, Echo, how is this? Thou’rt sure a dove: Thy voice will leave me nothing else but love! _Echo._—Nothing else but love! Amen, with all my heart, then be it so; And now to practice I’ll directly go. _Echo._—Directly go! This path be mine; and, let who will reject, My gracious God me surely will protect. _Echo._—Surely will protect! Henceforth on him I’ll cast my every care, And friends and foes, embrace them all in prayer. _Echo._—Embrace them all in prayer. ECHO AND THE LOVER.
