Parnassi Puerperium | ||

11. To his most indulgent Grandmother, Mrs. Anne Talbot.
They who on Æsculapius Altars tend,To my slack Memory, this Notion lend;
That Children who are sent abroad to Nurse;
Delight in them; and Love their Mothers worse.
If such Affection, in Cradles appears;
What Love may you expect, from mature years?
Your greatest Study, was my Life to save:
Your self was prompt, to Bail Me from the Grave;
When Tissical distempers, stopt my Breath;
And my clog'd Wind-pipe seem'd to whistle death.
I beleeve Nature, only gives Me Day;
That in some sort, I might strive you to Pay.
