Fit suitors found, two sisters soon are wed,

And to the altar without portions led.

With all the wants and wishes of their age

My little brothers next my thoughts engage,

And in their father's place I strive untired

To do whate'er that father's love inspired.

Thus watching how their several wills incline

In courts, in study, or in arms to shine;

No toil I shun their fair pursuits to aid,

Still of the snares that strew their path afraid.
