[Illustration: Music]

All hail to the birth of the Year! See golden-hair’d

Phœbus afar, Prepares to renew his career, And is

mounting his dew-spangled car. Stern Winter congeals every

brook, That murmur’d so lately with glee, And places a

snowy peruke On the head of each bald-pated tree.

⁂ For the remaining verses, see the _Every-Day Book_, vol ii. p. 25.
