With Fielding’s Amelia - ZaunköniG - 15.07.2007
With Fielding’s Amelia
Virtues and woes alike too great for man
In the soft tale oft claim the useless sigh:
For vain the attempt to realize the plan;
On folly’s wings must imitation fly.
With other aim has Fielding here displayed
Each social duty and each social care;
With just yet vivid coloring portrayed
What every wife should be, what many are.
And sure the parent of a race so sweet
With double pleasure on the page shall dwell;
Each scene with sympathizing breast shall meet,
While reason still with smiles delights to tell
Maternal Hope, that the loved progeny
In all but sorrows shall Amelias be.
