Industrious both, they happ’ly found the gains

Were equal to their wishes and their pains.

I was their only child, and form’d to bless,

I always added to their happiness;

They saw my person ev’ry one engage,

Beheld my sense increasing with my age;

Each Sunday to my dress they’d something add,

For pleasing me was making of them glad;

A diff’rent ribband bound my flowing hair,

Wav’d in my hat, and flutter’d in the air;
