Married a young and very handsome wife.
And now to him whom these initials claim,
Some live to bear their father's name;
(2lines left out) by mistake
Each much deplored, yet lively hope they gave
Alas! I'm here, March 1st in forty six,
Doomed with the world & worldly men to mix.

T.B.
We are not astonished (says Confucius)
that the wise walk more slowly in their road
to virtue than fools in their passage to vice;
since passion drags us along, while wisdom only
points the way.
