Analysis of Spoken Extempore, To The Right Honourable The Lady Barbara North
Mary Barber 1685 – 1755
This Present from a lovely Dame,
Fair and unsully'd, as her Fame,
Shall to Hibernia be convey'd,
Where once, rever'd, her Father sway'd;
And taught the drooping Arts to smile,
And with his Virtues bless'd our Isle.
