gentlest     and   most    graceful    forms;    and   that   many    weary     hunters    of 

happiness   through   the   noisy   world;   have   learnt   this   truth   too   late;   and 

found a cheerful spirit and a quiet mind only at home at last。 

     How much may depend on the education of daughters and the conduct 

of mothers; how much of the brightest part of our old national character 

may be perpetuated by their wisdom or frittered away by their folly … how 

much of it may have been lost already; and how much more in danger of 

vanishing every day … are questions too weighty for discussion here; but 

well    deserving     a  little  serious   consideration      from    all  young    couples 

nevertheless。 

     To   that   one   young   couple   on   whose   bright   destiny   the   thoughts   of

nations are fixed; may the youth of England look; and not in vain; for an 

example。 From that one young couple; blessed and favoured as they are; 

may they learn that even the glare and glitter of a court; the splendour of a 

palace;    and   the  pomp     and   glory   of  a  throne;   yield  in  their  power    of 

conferring happiness; to domestic worth and virtue。 From that one young 

couple     may    they   learn  that   the  crown    of  a  great   empire;    costly   and 

jewelled though it be; gives place in the estimation of a Queen to the plain 

gold ring that links her woman's nature to that of tens of thousands of her 

humble   subjects;   and   guards   in   her   woman's   heart   one   secret   store   of 

tenderness; whose proudest boast shall be that it knows no Royalty save 

Nature's own; and no pride of birth but being the child of heaven! 

     So shall the highest young couple in the land for once hear the truth; 

when men throw up their caps; and cry with loving shouts … 

       GOD BLESS THEM。
