That energy and grace

So often deem'd the exclusive property

Of youth's fresh season, or of vigorous prime,

She brought to Age, an unencumbered dower,

Making the gift of being beautiful,

Even beyond ninety years.

And though the change

Of mortal life, dispers'd her cherish'd band,

And some had gone their own fair nests to build

And some arisen to mansions in the skies
