\ FATHERS ADVICE TO HIS
DAUGHTHR ON HER
MARRIAGE, M

Let not my daughter, now wife,
Bid all her i2ars adieu;
Comforts there are in married life,
And there are crosses too.
I do not wish to damp your mirth,
With az ungrateful sound,
But yet remember, bliss on earth
No mortal ever found.
Your prospects and hopes are great,
May heaven those hopes fulfil;
But you will find in every state
Some difficulty still,
A friendship founded on esteem
Lifes stormy blast endures;
It will not vanish like dream
And such | trust is yours.
Though you have left fathers wing,
No longer need his care
Ii is but seldom husbands bring
J A lighter yoke to wear.
They have their humors and their
faults :.
SO mutablc il man:
Excuse bis foi5les in thy thoughts,
And hide them whea you can.
Nor anger ror resentment keep,
Whatever BE amiss--
Be reconciled before you sleep,
And seal it with kiss.
Or, if there cause to reprehend,
Do it with mild address;
Remember he's your dearest friend,
And love him ne'er the less.
Mutual attempts to serve and please,
Each other will cndear;
Thus may you draw your yoke with
ease,
Nor discord interfere.
Since you must both resign your breath
And God alone knows when,
So live that you may part at death,
10 meet with joy again. ]. -''
