A Heaven-born Saint, by every virtue crown'd,
That in imperfeet mort4ls can be found,
With polilh'd manners, not difguied by art,
lint Sowing from the fountain of the heart ;
A bruit replete with tendernefs and 10ve...
A mind direded to the joys above
Where gentle fweetnefs ever did prelide,
And redtitude was di unerring guide :
Blefs'd with that calm philofogliy to cure
Thole ills by patience which we mull endure
Her lively wit with fitire ever glow'd,
The check'd by better feelings as it now'd ;
To humble site alone her ennitant aim—
She fought no private views, nor courted Fame !
