THE BRITISH MINSTREL; AND
But when thou'st drunt, and danc'd, and sung
Thy fill, the flow'ry leaves among,
(VoluptuHus, and wise withal,
Epicurean animal 1)
Sated nilh thy summer feast,
Thou retir'st to endless rest.
Abraham Coivley, born in London, 1618, died at
Chertsey, -Mth July, 1667.
BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT IN THE LIFE OF
MADAME MALIBRAN.
A young English singer in the chorus of the
Italian opera at Paris, not having the means to
follow the company to London, resolved upon taking'
a benefit concert, Malibran having promised to
sing for her. By chance, on the evening fixed for
her concert, Madame Malibran was summoned to
the Duke of Orleans' party. The beneficiere,
uneasy, and alarmed, requested the audience to be
patient. Eleven o'clock had struck, and Malibran
came. After singing several romances, she took
the lady aside, and said : " I promised you my
evening you know ; well, I have contrived to make
double harvest of it. Before I came here I sang
for you at the Duke of Orleans', and here are the
hundred crowns he has sent you." Delicacy and
generosity, form a lovely combmatlon. — Musical
