Lettering

Lady admiring a picture. Few maidens can their lovers absence bear, Alarm'd by love, by doubt, by hope, by fear; Indulging of their woe, they feed their pain, And think, & sign, & wish, & weep in vain. Not so this wiser maid; with joy and truth She views the picture of her absent youth; Though absent, thinks him not less faithfull grown, Pleas'd at a passion gen'rous as her own. Bears number: 51
