'TTHE brave do never shun the light; 



Just are their thoughts, and open are their tempers; 

 Truly without disguise they love or hate; 

 Still are they found in the fair face of day, 

 And heav'n and men are judges of their actions.

*HY words had such a melting flow, 

 And spoke of truth so sweetly well, 

 They dropp'd like heav'n's serenest snow, 

 And all was brightness where they fell!

ATE'ER the emotions of her heart 



Stranger to every female art. 

 Alike to feign or to disguise. 



TTE'LL suit his bearing to tlie hour. 



Laugh, listen, learn or teach, 

 With joyous freedom in his mirth, 

 And candor in his speech. 



A STALWART form, a manly port, 

 -^ ^ A fearless brow, an eye of truth, 



A step as free as that of youth, 

 A presence fit for camp or court;

A knee a cliild would love to clnnb; 

 A face a woman needs must trust. 

 Quite free from guile and clean from lust, 



Nor marred, though nobly marked by time.
