Her Modest Looks The Cottage Might Adorn,

Persecution Is A Tribute The Great Must Always Pay For Preeminence.

I Chose My Wife, As She Did Her Wedding Gown, For Qualities That Would Wear Well.

Hope, Like The Gleaming Taper's Light, Adorns And Cheers Our Way; And Still, As Darker Grows The Night, Emits A Brighter Ray.

Those Who Think Must Govern Those That Toil.

Such Dainties To Them, Their Health It Might Hurt; It 's Like Sending Them Ruffles When Wanting A Shirt.
