[True, gentle bard, should lovely Grace]

[_]

To the above, Mr. Paine soon after wrote the following reply.

True, gentle bard, should lovely Grace
On aeronautick pinions rise,
Angels would own their “Sister's” face,
Thrice welcome to her native skies.
But conscious should the nymph remain,
Earth's loud laments would rend their ears:
They'd send the Heroine down again,
To sooth and bless a world in tears.
