THE DOMESTIC CONSTITUTION.

By thee

Founded in reason, loyal, just, and pure,
Relations dear, and all the charities

Of Father, Son, and Brother, first were known.
Far be it that I should write thee sin or blame,
Or think thee unbefitting holiest place,

Perpetual fountain of domestic sweets.-MILTON.

Forsaking thee! what shipwreck must ensue
Of honour, principle, and fair renown!

Respice,-Aspice,-Prospice.
