A Divine Poem on the Shunamite:

APOLOGY.


I HOPE, dear Madam, you will not be vex’d,
Because you find your name to this affix’d;
‘Tis sent by ay of grateful recompense,
But not design’d to give the least offence.


I trust your name is in the book of life;
Nor have I us’d it here to gender strife
Take not this freedom in the least unkind,
The poem’s sent to entertain your mind.


The subject matter is a work of grace,
Which on a saint in days of old took place;
The sex – a woman, and her statute great;
And to her sex these lines I dedicate.

and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every
one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are
the prayers of saints.” Rev. v. 8.

unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing
