- Amidst my learning and my care / Nothing can equal God most dear / Nor ought with him my heart to share / Quick as my fingers move this thread / Under just rules do act with speed / In wisdom paths still may I tread / Giving to virtue constant heed / Love to be good and therefore wise / Youth finds in these the greatest prize. / Ann Quigly 1814
