Walter Scott
Mystery has great charms for womanhood.
Walter Scott
A mother's pride, a father's joy.
Walter Scott
For Love will still be lord of all.
Walter Scott
Lightly from fair to fair he flew, And loved to plead, lament, and sue Suit lightly won, and short-lived pain, For monarchs seldom sigh in vain.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
