This hand would lead thee—listen. A clear space,

Guarded by sheltering hills from the east winds,

Laid out in geometrical designs,

Around a garden for the general use.

Planned to secure—on soundest principles—

Accord among the various families;

As cloudless—save for “tiffs” and passing shadows—

As I would have thy fate.

Pauline.—My own Hygeia!

Melnotte.—A mansion lifting from the triple arches
