He who knows himself best esteems himself least. - [Self] Oh, the music and beauty of life lose their worth, When one heart only joys in their smile; But the union of hearts gives that pleasure its birth, Which beams on the darkest and coldest of earth Like the sun on his own chosen isle; It gives to the fireside of winter the light, The glow and the glitter of spring-- O sweet are the hours, when two fond hearts unite, As softly they glide, in their innocent flight Away on a motionless wing. - [Matrimony] On paper curiously shaped Scribblers to-day of every sort, In verses Valentines ycled'd To Venus chime their annual court.
