STANZAS ADDRESSED TO A DAUGHTER ON HER MARRIAGE

Adapted from Victor Hugo, by Sir Tollemache Sinclair (to his granddaughter). Him who adores thee love, and with him happy be, Adieu, his treasure be, thou who wert ever ours, Go, daughter dear, from thy loved home to his with glee, Oh 1 chief joy, go, on thee may blessings fall in showers. Ah ! here we thee detain, there he awaits thy kiss, Wife — daughter, angel, child, thy new loved duties do. Waft us regrets, give him the certainty of bliss, Leave with a tear, reach home with his fond smile on you.
