"A woman rests in peace; surpassed by few

In power of mind, and eloquent discourse.

Tall was her stature; her complexion dark

And saturnine;[HV] her head not raised to hold[571]

Converse with heaven, nor yet deprest towards earth,

But in projection carried, as she walked

For ever musing. Sunken were her eyes;

Wrinkled and furrowed with habitual thought

Was her broad forehead; like the brow of one

Whose visual nerve shrinks from a painful glare
