V.
On an amiable Bride.
These should seem to be part of an
Epithalamium, and are of great antiquity,
being quoted by CONFUCIUS[25]
.
The peach-tree in the early spring: how
amiable! how lovely!
Its leaves how beset with flowers! O how delightful!
Such is the new-married bride, when she passeth into the house of her husband,
Where she dealeth out their portions to his
domestics,
And dischargeth every duty to him and his family.
Its leaves how beset with flowers! O how delightful!
Such is the new-married bride, when she passeth into the house of her husband,
237
And dischargeth every duty to him and his family.
