The amiable pair repaired with speed, and arrived with the dawn of the
sun to the cottage of Imogen. At the sight of them the venerable Edith
reared her drooping, desponding head, and the cheeks of the hoary father
were bedewed with the tears of transport. Such were the trials of our
lovers, and of correspondent worth was the reward they received. Long
did they dwell together in the vale of Clwyd, with that simplicity and
attachment which no scenes but those of pastoral life can know. Their
happiness was more sensible than that of the swains around them in that
they had known a reverse of fortune. And their virtue was the purer and
the more benevolent, in that they had passed through the fields of
trial; and that only through the ordeal of temptation, and an approved
fortitude, they had arrived to the unmixed felicity, and the
uninterrupted enjoyment they at length possessed.
