    St. Leon raised his kindling eye,
    And lifts the sparkling cup on high;
    "I drink to one," he said,
    "Whose image never may depart,
    Deep graven on this grateful heart,
    Till memory be dead."
    . . . .
    St. Leon paused, as if he would
    Not breathe her name in careless mood
    Thus lightly to another;
    Then bent his noble head, as though
    To give the word the reverence due,
    And gently said, "My mother!"

The home of the truth and the light,
Where God speaks to Jones,
In the very same tones,
That he uses with Hadley and Dwight.

A health to the nut-brown lass,
With the hazel eyes: let it pass.
. . . .
As much to the lively grey
'Tis as good i' th' night as day:
. . . .
She's a savour to the glass,
And excuse to make it pass.
