While James approved the zeal, and praised the call,

“That brought,” he said, “a blessing on them all:

Goodness like this to all the House extends,

For were they not a Family of Friends?”

Their sister Frances, though her prime was past, 400

Had beauty still—nay, beauty form’d to last;

’Twas not the lily and the rose combined,

Nor must we say the beauty of the mind;

But feature, form, and that engaging air,

That lives when ladies are no longer fair.
