| Adams, Hannah. A Summary History of New-England. 1799. | History | “How gaily shone on thy bright morn of youth The star of pleasure, and the sun of truth! Full from their source descended on thy mind Each generous virtue, and each taste refin'd. Young genius led thee to her varied fane, Bade thee ask all her gifts, nor ask in vain; Hence novel thought, in every lustre drest Of pointed wit, the diamond of the breast; Hence glow'd thy fancy with poetic ray, Hence music warbled in thy sprightly lay, And hence thy pencil with her colors warm Caught every grace, and copied every charm, Whose transient glories beam on beauty's cheek, And bid the glowing ivory breathe and speak.” | quote | Seward, Anna. Monody on Major Andrè. 1781. | Poetry |
