Here woman reigns; the mother, daughter, wife,

Strew 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 at her feet.

“Where shall that land, that spot of earth be found?”

Art thou a man?—a patriot?—look around;

Oh, thou shalt find, howe’er thy footsteps roam,

That land thy Country, and that spot thy Home.
