An hypocrite in nought but hiding pain.
To courts she taught the rules of just expence,
Join’d with economy, magnificence;
Attention to a kingdom’s vast affairs,
Attention to the meanest mortal’s cares;
Profusion might consume, or avarice hoard,
’Twas hers to feed, unknown, the scanty board.
Thus, of each human excellence possess’d,
With as few faults as e’er attend the best;
Dear to her lord, to all her children dear,
