His sword and scepter, pageantry and pride,
While, in his softened looks, benignly[427] blend
The sire, the son, the husband, father, friend.
4. Here woman reigns; the mother, daughter, wife,
Strews with fresh flowers the narrow way of life;
In the clear heaven of her delightful eye,
An angel guard of loves and graces lie;
Around her knees domestic duties meet,
And fireside pleasures gambol[428] at her feet.
Where shall that land, that spot of earth be found?
