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;
