[CHAPTER XXI.]
Squire Fuller Hears Unwelcome News.
“Behold the work of my unlawful hand,
That by rude force the passions would command,
That ruthless sought to root them from the breast;
They may be ruled, but will not be oppressed.
Taught hence, ye parents, who from nature stray,
And the great ties of social life betray;
Ne’er with your children act a tyrant’s part,
’Tis yours to guide, not violate the heart.”
Thompson.
