She, form’d in Courts to shine, was pleas’d to shun

A thousand Lovers, to be blest with one;

And bade adieu without a single Sigh

To Passion’s Language and to Flattery’s Eye.

He, like his Fathers, left an only Boy,

Ere dawning Reason spurn’d the childish Toy;

Pleas’d to reflect [the] Mother’s years were few,

Her Temper perfect, and her Judgment true; 100

That she would train him, good herself and wise,

All that was base and wicked to despise;
