Lucretia Maria Davidson (Лукреция Мария Дэвидсон)

To Science

  (Written in her thirteenth year.)

Let others in false Pleasure's court be found,
But may I ne'er be whirled the giddy round;
Let me ascend with Genius' rapid flight,
Till the fair hill of Science meets my sight.

Blest with a pilot who my feet will guide,
Direct my way, whene'er I step aside;
May one bright ray of Science on me shine,
And be the gift of learning ever mine.

4. To a Friend, Whom I Had Not Seen Since My Childhood
5. On Seeing a Picture of the Virgin Mary, Painted Several Centuries Since
