- In tender Life how did my moments slide / When my dear Mother was my happy guide / Her aim was Heavenward here she could not stay / But wingd her couse to Blissfull realms of Bay / Yet my dear Father makes me all his Care / His heart his Love his all with him I share / (In cartouche on L): Sarah Hoyle (In carouche on L): E: Williamson
