SONNET, BY A HUSBAND, BUT NOT A MODERN ONE.
When on thy bosom I recline,
[   ] still to call the mine--
To calal thee rules for life
I glory in the sacred ties
Which modern wives and fools despise)
Of husband and of wife.
Our mutual flame inspires our bliss,
The tender look--the melting kiss,
Ev'n years have not destroy'd;
Some sweet sensation ever new
Spring up--and proves the maxim true,
That love can ne'er be cloy'd.
