Conservative Cabal

A quick note of official Cabal congratulations to our friend and Cabal co-founder Lane on the recent arrival of his own bundle of hope and change — the real sort, that is. May she live long and prosper! And look, Robert Burns already wrote a poem in her honor. How very kind of him!

My Peggy’s face, my Peggy’s form,
The frost of hermit Age might warm;
My Peggy’s worth, my Peggy’s mind,
Might charm the first of human kind.

I love my Peggy’s angel air,
Her face so truly heavenly fair,
Her native grace, so void of art,
But I adore my Peggy’s heart.

The lily’s hue, the rose’s dye,
The kindling lustre of an eye;
Who but owns their magic sway!
Who but knows they all decay!

The tender thrill, the pitying tear,
The generous purpose nobly dear,
The gentle look that rage disarms-
These are all Immortal charms.

-Robert Burns
