To his sad duty his sound mind apply,

And, vex’d in spirit, throw his pleasures by.

Turn we to Schools which more than these afford -

The sound instruction and the wholesome board;

And first our School for Ladies; - pity calls

For one soft sigh, when we behold these walls,

Placed near the town, and where, from window high,

The fair, confined, may our free crowds espy,

With many a stranger gazing up and down,

And all the envied tumult of the town;
