The attribution of this poem is questionable.

Fair miniature of all thy Mother's grace,
Gentle Theresa! whose first-op'ning bloom
Foretells a lovely Flow'r of rich perfume:
Now that thy tender mind doth quick embrace
Each character impress'd, these pages trace
With studious eye, and let thy thoughts assume
Such classic dress as grac'd the Maids of Rome,
Free, elegant, and as thy manners chaste.
