To innocence what charms belong.The dance dehghtful as the song,Whilst bounding light on agile feetHer steps the measured cadence meet;With pleasure beams the Mothers eyeAs oer the strings her fingers fly. 194 THE ELEGANT GIRL. … In sickness when the poor you seeWill you their ministering angel be ?Will you their thirst and pain assuage,And read to them the sacred page ?Dry up the Widows scalding tears,Exalt her hopes, and calm her fears. 195 13* THE ELEGANT GIRL.
