Emigration: Quotations from Cyclopedia of Practical Quotations

Beheld the duteous son, the sire decayed, The modest matron, and the blushing maid, Forc'd from their homes, a melancholy train, To traverse climes beyond the Western main.— GOLDSMITH — Traveller. L. 407.

Down where yon anch'ring vessel spreads the sail, That, idly waiting, flaps with every gale, Downward they move, a melancholy band, Pass from the shore and darken all the strand.— GOLDSMITH — Deserted Village. L. 399.
