Verses occasion'd by the Sickness of Mrs. Anne Donnellan
[ed.] "Mrs. Donnellan was one of Swift's correspondents. Known as 'Philomela' she was the sister of Mary Pendarves (later Mrs. Delany)." (Tucker [1992], 223) (AH)
.

I
1 Goddess of Health, where-e'er you dwell,
2 To Philomela fly;
3 O hasten from your rural Cell,
4 Nor let the Fair one die.
II
5 Again her Voice divine restore,
6 And give her Eyes their Fire;
7 So shall a World thy Pow'r adore,
8 And raise thy Altars higher.
