Excerpt from Poetical Sketches of a Tour in the West of England But joyless solitude asserts her reign, And shews all human happiness is vain. In less than twelve short months death's fatal dart Struck two, from whom 'twas almost death to part, As sister one, as wife the other proved How fondly and how faithfully they loved: They, in the sphere that Providence ordain'd, The grateful hearts of poorer neighbours gain'd, And long their memory will be held revered By those their bounty has so often cheer'd, For where their hands relieved, from looks most kind, Flow'd balmy comfort to the wretched mind. Farewell, bless'd sisters, destined to enjoy Unfading pleasures, bliss without alloy! Aware this trial is the will of God, I bow submissive to his chastening rod. While far from home, divested of each charm Affliction's crowded quiver to disarm, By changing scenes I strove to calm that mind, Which left whate'er it loved on earth behind, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
