Pursued, now dead, by satire and the devil.
With steadfast zeal (which kindled in her youth)
A foe to bigotry, a friend to truth;
Too generous for the lust of lawless rule,
Nor Persecution’s nor Oppression’s tool:
In Locke’s, in Clarke’s, in Hoadley’s paths she trod,
Nor fear’d to follow where they follow’d God.
To all obliging and to all sincere,
Wise to choose friendships, firm to persevere.
Free without rudeness; great without disdain;
