+ 1ST POEMS: Written To 'A Traveller'

". . . there is a higher order of morality, a sterner integrity, among them

 . . and it is to be observed, that it is Christianity, rightly understood and

inculcated, that has secured to them this enviable distinction."

---'A Traveller,' "The British House Of Commons And The Virginia House Of Delegates," in

Southern Literary Messenger, III:6, June, 1837; pp. 337-338


Your fine words, my Brother in Faith, are elegant and sure;

and they convey an ancient Truth that will ever endure.

With your assertion, Brother, I---in this late age---concur;

from my belief upon Christ I will never, ever abjure.
