SONS of Discord! come not near,
Peace and gentle Love are here;
Each unhallow’d passion hence!
Here Pleasure dwells with Innocence.
Beauteous pair! may nought divide you,
Ever join’d adorn this shade;
Here no evil can betide you;
Shielded by the blue-eyed maid.
Wisdom, daughter of the skies,
Governs here with mildest sway;
The radiant train of social joys
Gladly her commands obey.
And see where Venus, with the Graces join,
To bind a flow’ry wreath on Hymen’s brow!
Thro’ these still groves he breathes an air divine,
And here his brightest flame must ever glow,
Since Virtue in Good-humor’s charms array’d,
From every chilling blast defends their hallow’d shade!
(Maria Logan)
