the ardent youth.With passions and affections like our own. We see thee toiling for those seven long years —At once the price and token of thy love —For Eachel, unto whom thy heart doth cleave. Perchance those years were full of bitterness: Thou hadst the promise^ but thou wert a slave ; And yet, methinks, thy bonds were silken ones. For thou wert but the prisoner of love. ^ « # « # ^ 9* 102 BEAUTIES OF SACRED LITERATURE.

Seven years more Thou servedst for the E-achel of thy love, And took her to thy faithful breast at last.****** What lesson learn we from thy constancy 1Ist not that unto her who won our heartIn early youth our manhood still should cling 1Ist not that love, well placed and weU deserved.Is in itself a boon to be desired,And sought for, even with toil and servitude 1
