Spoken extempore , to the Right Honourable the Lady Barbara North "Lady Barbara North was the daughter of Thomas, eighth Earl of Pembroke". (Tucker [1992], 210) , on her presenting the Author with a white Ribband at Tunbridge-Wells . This Present from a lovely Dame , Fair and unsully'd , as her Fame , Shall to Hibernia be convey'd , Where once , rever'd , her Thomas late Earl of Pembroke . Father sway'd ; And taught the drooping Arts to smile , And with his Virtues bless'd our Isle .
