Feby 11th 1825.
To my dearest Septimus on his birthday
Oh may it be a happy day!
Merrily we’ll jump and play,
And dress your chair in joy and mirth.
This cheerful morning of your birth.
Seppy! you are as sweet as honey,
More dear to me, than all my money,
With your rosy cheeks, and curly hair,
Oh! never let me see a tear!
Your good Friend & affcte Brother
George Goodwin Barrett
