To the same on her telling me a very acceptable piece of News.
Happy Tidings to declare,
Will the anxious Bosom ease,
But when Friends the Tidings bear,
Then 'tis sure to doubly please;
Thou wert a chosen Messenger to me,
As if all Good must be convey'd by thee.

Thy Tongue with heav'nly Wisdom fraught
Informs my op'ning Mind;
In ev'ry Soul delighting Thought,
I sweet Instruction find:
Thy Presence does sublimest Joy dispense,
While Female Sweetness softens Manly Sense.

Thy pious Converse gives Delight
To my attentive Ear;
Thy well-penn'd Letters please my Sight;
Thy Counsels ease my Care:
Heav'n surely more than common Blessing sends,
Whenever it bestows religious Friends.
