Excerpt from Poems
The good alone are loved. The babe, each day she Older grows, Shall find the fairy-lore of babyhood Is far more true than is her mother's tale. Beauty alone gives woman power, Alone can win man's selfish heart, Alone that selfish heart can pain; Merit may hold her hand to Love, And Intellect trv silver speech Beauty, though dumb, shall win the day, And prove thy mother lied.
