VERSES Making Part of an EPITAPH on the same LADY . By the Same . MADE to engage all hearts , and charm all eyes : Tho' meek , magnanimous ; tho' witty , wise ; Polite , as all her life in courts had been ; Yet good , as she the world had never seen ; The noble fire of an exalted mind , With gentle female tenderness combin'd . Her Speech was the melodious voice of Love , Her Song the warbling of the vernal Grove ; Her Eloquence was sweeter than her Song , Soft as her Heart , and as her-Reason strong ; Her Form each beauty of her mind express'd . Her Mind was Virtue by the Graces dress'd .
