to be read at their Reception" hello on Friday
evening at Delmonlco's:-
She to whose faithful breast each child Is dear
Hears the far murmur OF your voices meeting,
An sweetest music to her loving cart
And sends a mo hers greeting.
Whom 6rst enrobed her radiant form she dressed,
1ruth was the pear hat on her foreheau Rstened /;
Freedom her message to the virgin " est,
And the whole wor listened.
What O., she gave you-learning, science art
Shed from the my site tree whose leaves are letters,
One gift exceHed them ALL manly heart
kreed from All earthly Ietters.
Guard well the pearl OF Harvard, all too white
For the coarse dis to cutcn tnat Duy and barter
Conquer " bltIoeoom in her liielong fsnt
Or fail her LOOle martyr.
