THE
IMMORTALITY
OF
VIRTUE
.
TO
MRS.
FRINSHAM
A
lady
for
whom
Mr.
B.
had
the
very
highest
respect
;
as
have
all
who
have
the
happiness
of
being
intimately
acquainted
with
her
.
.
FROM
these
numbers
as
they
flow
,
Shepherd-maids
this
moral
know
;
Soon
shall
Beauty's
brightest
bloom
Moulder
in
the
cheerless
tomb
;
Charms
that
light
the
blaze
of
love
,
Soon
the
force
of
time
shall
prove
;
Vainly
beams
the
glist'ning
eye
,
Quench'd
in
dust
each
star
shall
lie
;
Yet
when
Death's
destructive
dart
Chills
to
rest
the
beating
heart
,
Virtue's
flame
unquench'd
shall
burn
,
Cheer
the
grave
,
and
gild
the
urn
.
