_Winifreda; Stevens' "Rural Felicity"_ (Vol. iv., p. 277.).--For a

repetition of the sentiment by Stevens, vide also his "Parent:"

"A fond father's bliss is to number his race,

And exult on the bloom that just buds on their face,

With their prattle he'll dearly himself entertain,

_And read in their smiles their loved mother again_;

Men of pleasure be mute, this is life's lovely view,

When _we look on our young ones our youth we renew_."
