And show me your nest with the young ones in it, I will not steal them away; I am old! you may trust me, linnet, linnet- I am seven times one to-day. JEAN INGELOw-Songs of Seven. Seven Times One. As this auspicious day began the race Of ev'ry virtue join'd with ev'ry grace; May you, who own them, welcome its return, Till excellence, like yours, again is born. The years we wish, will half your charms impair; The years we wish, the better half will spare; The victims of your eyes will bleed no more, But all the beauties of your mind adore.
