Page 151 - Is this a Mother's Love ? A parent's heart may prove a snare; The child she loves so well, Her hand may lead, with gentlest care, Down the smooth road to hell ; Nourish its frame, — destroy its mind : Thus do the blind mislead the blind, Even with a Mother's Love.
Page 64 - This let me hope, that when in public view I bring my pictures, men may feel them true ; 'This is a likeness,' may they all declare, 'And I have seen him, but I know not where;' For I should mourn the mischief I had done, If as the likeness all would fix on one.
