Enriching and adorning. Unto thee,

Not so enriched, not so adorned, to thee

Was given (say rather thou of later birth

Wert given to her) a Sister—’tis a word

Timidly uttered, for she lives, the meek, 80

The self-restraining, and the ever-kind;

In whom thy reason and intelligent heart

Found—for all interests, hopes, and tender cares,

All softening, humanising, hallowing powers,

Whether withheld, or for her sake unsought— 85
