FROM THE MSS. OF FRANKLIN.

In vain are musty morals taught in schools,

By rigid teachers and as rigid rules,

Where virtue with a frowning aspect stands,

And frights the pupil with her rough commands.

But Woman—

Charming Woman, can true converts make—

We love the precepts for the teacher's sake:

Virtue in them appears so bright and gay,

We hear with transport, and with pride obey.
