Behold the lineage. sculptur'd line,
There rests on the sepulchred stone

The supplied priest made no appeal,
His earthly masters CHECKED his zeal.
From those who bent their heads to Heaven
To pray that mortals be forgiven
No kind behest for her was sent,
No priestly hand to her was lent.
She struggled long, she nobly rose,
Triumphant DER her rancourous foes;
Bravely she stood the heightened strife,
For honest fame, more dear than life
But oh the nerve too finely strung,
Was wrench'd, was torn, was rudely wrung.
The malice crush'd-that strength was given,
Then burst from earth to kinder Heaven.
