HOME HONESTY
'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like Home.
J. Howard Payne—Home Sweet Home. Song in Clari, The Maid of Milan.
The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the force of the Crown. It may be frail, its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storms may enter,—the rain may enter,—but the King of England cannot enter; all his forces dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement!
Home is where the heart is.
Pliny.
My lodging is in Leather-Lane,
A parlor that's next to the sky;
"Ks exposed to the wind and the rain,
But the wind and the rain I defy.
W. B. Rhodes—Bombastes Furioso. Sc. 4.
Just the wee cot—the cricket's chirr—
Love and the smiling face of her.
James Whttcomb Riley—Ike Walton's Prayer.
To fireside happiness, to hours of ease
Blest with that charm, the certainty to please.
Sam'l Rogers—Human Life. L. 347.
Gallus in sterquilinio suo plurimum potest.
The cock is at his best on his own dunghill
Seneca—De Morte Clavdii.
And I'll still stay, to have thee still forget,
Forgetting any other home but this.
That is my home of love.
Sonnet CIX.
Home-keeping youth have ever homely wits.
Two Gentlemen of Verona. Act I. Sc. 1. L. 2.

A word that starred the page,
"Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage."
Yes, that is true, and something more:
You'll find, where'er you roam,
That marble floors and gilded walls
Can never make a home.
But every house where Love abides
And Friendship is a guest,
Is surely home, and home, sweet home;
For there the heart can rest.
