- Ataresta Learned's Sampler / Twelve years of age / Providence October Patience will wipe the streaming tear / And hope will paint the pallid cheek of fear / Content will always happiness supply / And Virtue calls a blessing from on high / Next unto God dear Parent I address / Myself to you in humble thankfulness / For all your care & charge on me bestowd / The means of learning unto me allow'd / Go on I pray and let me still pursue / These golden arts the vulgar never knew. / /
