More bright than Apollo was she:

Superior rays obtain’d now the bays,

And Montague bended the knee.

O excellent Rowe, much Britain does owe

To what you’ve ingen’ously penn’d:

Of virtue and wit, the model you’ve hit;

Would ladies pursue, the paths trod by you,

And jointly to learning aspire,

The men soon would yield unto them the field,
