Lettering: Lavinia and mother. The news immediate to her Mother brought While pierced with anxious thought she pin'd away The lonely moments for Lavinia's fate. Amazed and scarce believing what she heard Joy siezed her wither'd veins, and one bright gleam Of setting life shone on her ev'ning hours. Vide. Thompsons Seasons.
