“THE ASYLUM, or Alonzo and Melissa. An American Tale,
founded on fact.
BY I. MITCHELL.
Let no fond wish oppose the choice of Heaven;
For God's high acts unerring wisdom guides,
And boundless love his every choice decides:
Hence all events, and hence all beings right,
Best in their places, to best ends unite:
Hence from deep ills unmeasured good shall flow,
Hence joys unnumber'd spring from every woe.
Dwight.
