Verses Occasion'd By The Sickness Of Mrs. Anne Donnellan.

Mary Barber 1685 – 1755



Goddess of Health, where--e'er you dwell,
To Philomela fly;
O hasten from your rural Cell,
Nor let the Fair one die.

Again her Voice divine restore,
And give her Eyes their Fire;
So shall a World thy Pow'r adore,
And raise thy Altars higher.
