"For Mrs. Burnett. / 'Temper! thy power more magical / Than that which graced of old Amphion's lyre, / Can savage hearts with wondr'rous spell enthral; / Can clear suspicion's mist with gladdening fire, / Can chain in rosy bonds impetuous ire; / Can melt the ill-bound heart of cold disdain; / Can dying love with the vital breath inspire; / From every passion pluck the cancerous pain - / And seeming still to yield, lead captive all the train.'"

Property from the Augustana Collection
