you long for your mothers cookery, and
you will have one instanter.

More rich than heaps of hOrdcd gold.

His wife. the lovely charmrr
The sweetest rose on all his lands

TO him the spring comes dancing day.
To him the summer bushes,
The autumn smiles with mellow ray.
His sleep the winter bushes:
He cares not how the world may move
No doubt or fears cOnfOund him;
He smiles in calm content and love
On children gathered round him.
He trusts in God, and loves his wife.
Nor grief, nor i'll may harm her,
He's natures nOblrman in life
