Flamma sine Fumo | ||
Upon the fair, charitable, and piously devo ed Gentlewoman Mrs. Mary Jeffreys
the wife of John Jeffreys Esq.
Would you the model of perfection find?Or take a coppy of a pious mind?
Behold this Lady, where such vertues dwell,
That Phenix-like she hath no parallel.
She hath a dove-like nature, pride, and she
Can never meet, there's such Antipathy.
She's rich in beauty, rich in purse, and free,
Her riches most consist in piety:
When other Ladies sport, and laugh, and prate,
She with her prayers knocks ot heaven's gate:
