All kinds of intoXicants scorning;
Who will milk the with unruiiled brow,
And knde the fires in the morning.
gentleman quite who will perish in fight
If ms country's safely requires it;
Who will often in life give a dime to his wife,
Without asking why she desires it,
Who of all modern lore has wonderful store,
Who charms with his wise conversation;
With an intellect grand who will really stand
As Gods noblest work OF creation.
