lirik lagu jane austen - ghizela rowe - my dearest frank, i wish you joy

my dearest frank, i wish you joy
of mary’s safety with a boy
whose birth has given little pain
compared with that of mary jane.—
may he a growing blessing prove
and well deserve his parents’ love!—
endow’d with art’s and nature’s good
thy name possessing with thy blood
in him, in all his ways, may we
another francis william see!—
thy infant days may he inherit
they warmth, nay insolence of spirit;—
we would not with one foult dispense
to weaken the resemblance
may he revive thy nursery sin
peeping as daringly within
his curly locks but just descried
with ‘bet, my be not come to bide.’—
fearless of danger, braving pain
and threaten’d very oft in vain
still may one terror daunt his soul
one needful engine of controul
be found in this sublime array
a neighbouring donkey’s awful bray
so may his equal faults as child
produce maturity as mild!
his saucy words and fiery ways
in early childhood’s pettish days
in manhood, shew his father’s mind
like him, considerate and kind;
all gentleness to those around
and anger only not to wound
then like his father too, he must
to his own former struggles just
feel his deserts with honest glow
and all his self~improvement know
a native fault may thus give birth
to the best blessing, conscious worth
as for ourselves we’re very well;
as unaffected prose will tell.—
cassandra’s pen will paint our state
the many comforts that await
our chawton home, how much we find
already in it, to our mind;
and how convinced, that when complete
it will all other houses beat
the ever have been made or mended
with rooms concise, or rooms distended
you’ll find us very snug next year
perhaps with charles and f~nny near
for now it often does delight us
to fancy them just over~right us.—
