And eminent in beauty as in birth,

When the bright Lenox shall as well

In the same gloomy mansion dwell

And mingle with her kindred regal earth,

Still in thy tints shall she survive,

220 With sweet attraction still engage,

Still feed the flame as when alive,

And (e’en improv’d by mellowing age

Each charm of person and of face)

Still sacrifice to every grace---
