THOU ai't my daughter — never loved as now_ 
Thou mountain maid — thou child of libertv! 
Urilda! well from Uri’s height I named thee, 
Free as its breezes —purer than its snows.

PHE obeys with speedy will 
Her grave parents’ wise commands; 
And so innocent, that ill 
She nor acts, nor understands. 
— William Habington. 
HEASON masters every sense, 
And her virtues grace her birth: 
Lovely as all excellence, 
Modest in her most of mirth.

CHE comforts all her mother’s days, 
And with her sweet, obedient ways 
She makes her labor light; 
So sweet to hear, so fair to see! 
O, she is much too good for me.

AND a stranger when he sees her 
In the street, even, smileth stilly, 
Just as you would at a lily; 
And all voices that address her 
Soften, sleeken every word, 
As if speaking to a bird. 
— Mrs. Brdinning.
