    EPIGRAPH: While Hope pictures to us a flattering scene os suture Miffe let us deny its pencil thofe colours which are too bright to be lasting— When hearts deferving happ ness woula unite their sortune, Virtue would crown tnem with an unsading garland os modest, hurtksi flowers ; buc ill- judging passion will sorce the gaudier rofe intothe wreath, whose tborn offends them when its leaves are dropt.

    EPIGRAPH: Wisdom in sable garb array'd, Immers'd in rapturous thought profound, And Melancholy, silent maid.

  • IN: The Mother (1809) Fiction, British
    EPIGRAPH: “See a fond mother encircled by her children: with pious tenderness she looks around, and her soul even melts with maternal love. One she kisses on the forehead, and clasps another to her bosom. One she sets upon her knee, and finds a seat upon her foot for another. And while, by their actions, their lisping words, and asking eyes, she understands their various, numberless little wishes, to these she dispenses a look; a word to those; but whether she smiles or frowns, ’tis all in tender love.”
