And now arriv'd, I meet with bliss
Those tender looks and gentle smiles;
Fee on each cheek an infants kiss,
While pleasing hope All care beguiles.
Each much lov'd object | survey,
And ell around me happy see.
hence forward let me ALWAYS stay,
Nor rove again from home and ,hec.
Nowtwice sevenlieeting years have Fed,
Wilie ,lose upiled We have been.
Ugh seldo. gay. & so et.mes sad.
We many la Up, days have s.en.
he eve OF life comes on a,ace:
But we at home much icy may see.
Home is the abode Of happiness
30 viii stay at home wi,ii ,hee.
