See ! where the kindeft, bed of mothers lies, And death has mut her ever-weeping eyes ; Has lodg'd at lail peace in her weary breaft, And lull'd her many piercing cares to reft. No more the orphan train around her (lands, While her full heart upbraids her needy hands ! * Elizabeth Trotter, of a genteel family in the neigh- bourhood of Grecnlaw io Berwickfhire. Qj> No i88 ESSAY ON THE No more the widow's lonely fate me feels, The (hock fevere that modeft want conceals, Th' oppreflbr's fcourge, t...he fcorn of wealthy pride, And poverty's unnumber'd ills befide. For fee ! attended by th' angelic throng, Through yonder worlds of light flie glides along, And claims the well earn'd raptures of the fky. Yet fond concern recalls the mother's eye ; She feeks the helplefs orphans left behind ; So hardly left t fo bitterly rcfign'd !
