And, pulling hastily her parent's arm,

Said she, dear mother, (not suspecting harm)

Good Heav'ns! must I obey and thither go?

What would the holy man on me bestow?

I know not what to say nor how to act;

Now cousin Anne would with him be exact,

And better recollect his sage advice:—

Fool! said the mother, never be so nice;

Go, nothing fear, and do whate'er's desired;

Much understanding will not be required;
