And follow Jacob to the destined place,
Where found repose the pa,riarchal race;

And claim its station OH the roll of fame.

Lines addressed to infant ter DAYS old writer
at the request of lady, particular friend o.
the author.
When those eyes which look so bright,
First saw the beams of heavenly light,
All bosoms throbb'd with pure delight
My Baby.
Thy parents watch with anxious eye,
To drive away each rising sigh,
And guard thee from all dangers nigh
My Baby.
Those lovely cheeks of rosy hue,
With breath sweet as the morning dew,
And coral lips surpassed by few,
My Baby.
And when arrivu at age sixteen,
And galy sporting DER the green,
May virtue in thy paths be seen,
My Baby.
Oh may that bosom fair,
Escape from every wildly snare,
Nor have a thorn to raukle there,
My Baby.
And when thy earthly shall end,
On. may thy soul to heaven ascend,
Where joys immortal have no end,
My Baby.
