Whom gentler stars unite, and in one fate Their hearts, their fortunes, and their beings blend. ‘Tis not the coaser tie of human laws, Unnatural oft, and foreign to the mind, That binds their peace, but harmony itself, Attuning all their passions into love.

Perfect esteem enlivened by desire Ineffable, and sympathy of soul; Thought meeting thought, and will preventing will, With boundless confidence: for nought but love Can answer love, and render bliss secure.” Jun 24, 1853: In Glasgow on Wednesday 15th inst., by Rev.
