Meek tho’ indulged, and modest tho’ approv’d,
The Sick, the Poor, the suffering and oppress’d
Could all the Grandsire’s liberal Soul attest;
While the more griev’d, disturb[‘d] and doubtful sought
The Widow’s Aid, a Mind with Wisdom fraught,
And from the Sister-Spirit found relief 880
In all the various pangs of mental Grief.
All this the Virgin saw, and she became
Kind as the father, prudent as the dame;
Pleas’d with the Life she liv’d, the Joy she felt,
