“The customs of some savage nations might, perchance, be profitably imitated by us, for they at least go through the semblance of casting their slough annually; they have the idea of the thing, whether they have the reality or not.”

Shalt constant faith and service vow,
Thy Celia shall receive those charms
With open ears, and with unfolded arms.”
