- Not pleasing objects which soon pass the sight, / Or richest food that highest tastes delight. / Not numbered music which captivates the ear, Or gayest dress that pleases much the fair, / With virtue equal are, my greetings, maid, / These clog our sense, this to the mind gives aid / This New Year?s gift your sampler may adorn, / And pattern be to others yet unborn. / Mary Clare Carroll / January / The First / 1738 See How The Lillies Florish white and fair / See How The Ravens Fed from Heaven Are / /
