If in this world of breathing harm, There lurk one universal charm, One power, which, to no clime confin'd, Sways either sex and every mind; Which cheers the monarch on his throne; The slave beneath the torrid zone; The soldier rough, the letter'd sage, And careless youth, and helpless age; And all that live, and breathe, and move, -- 'T is the pure kiss of infant love!
