Vignette - Xii Poem by Matilda Betham

Vignette - Xii



_To the late Lady Rouse Boughton_.


'Tis said, that jealous of a name
We all would praise confine,
And choke the leading path to fame
In our peculiar line.

But vainly should detraction preach
If once I made it known,
The art of pleasing thou would'st teach
Acknowledg'd for thy own.
