WRITTEN FOR THE BENEFIT OF YOUTH, PARTICULARLY THE
FEMALE SEX.
The maid that walks in folly’s path,
Thoughtless and heedless as she goes;
Will land in misery at last,
Beset around with many foes:
But she who minds instruction young,
Attentive to her bus’ness stays;
In sweetest notes her name is sung,
On harps of gold, where virtue plays.
