Sister, fie for shame, no more! / Give this ignorant babble o'er, / Nor, with little female pride, / Things above your sense deride.
Why this foolish underrating / Of my first attempts at Latin? / Know you not each thing we prize / Does from small beginnings rise? / 'Twas the same thing with your writing / Which you now take such delight in.
