My dearest Frank I wish you joyA
Of Mary's safety with a BoyA
Whose birth has given little painB
Compared with that of Mary JaneB
May he a growing Blessing proveC
And well deserve his Parents' LoveD
Endow'd with Art's and Nature's GoodE
Thy Name possessing with thy BloodF
In him in all his ways may weG
Another Francis WIlliam seeG
Thy infant days may he inheritH
THey warmth nay insolence of spiritH
We would not with one foult dispenseI
To weaken the resemblanceJ
May he revive thy Nursery sinK
Peeping as daringly withinK
His curley Locks but just descriedH
With 'Bet my be not come to bide 'L
Fearless of danger braving painB
And threaten'd very oft in vainB
Still may one Terror daunt his SoulM
One needful engine of ControulM
Be found in this sublime arrayN
A neigbouring Donkey's aweful BrayN
So may his equal faults as ChildH
Produce Maturity as mildH
His saucy words and fiery waysO
In early Childhood's pettish daysO
In Manhood shew his Father's mindH
Like him considerate and KindH
All Gentleness to those aroundH
And anger only not to woundH
Then like his Father too he mustH
To his own former struggles justH
Feel his Deserts with honest GlowM
And all his self improvement knowM
A native fault may thus give birthP
To the best blessing conscious WorthP
As for ourselves we're very wellM
As unaffected prose will tellM
Cassandra's pen will paint our stateH
The many comforts that awaitH
Our Chawton home how much we findH
Already in it to our mindH
And how convinced that when completeH
It will all other Houses beatH
The ever have been made or mendedH
With rooms concise or rooms distendedH
You'll find us very snug next yearQ
Perhaps with Charles and Fanny nearQ
For now it often does delight usR
To fancy them just over right usR
