Written in a Lady's Prayer-Book.
So fair a Form, with such Devotion join'd!A Virgin Body, and a spotless Mind!
Pleas'd with her Pray'rs, while Heav'n propitious sees
The lovely Vot'ress on her bended Knees,
Sure it must think some Angel lost its Way,
And happ'ning on our wretched Earth to stray;
Tir'd with our Follies, fain wou'd take its Flight,
And begs to be restor'd to those blest Realms of Light.
