- Inscription
- ON PROVIDENCE / While thro' this mazy walk of Life, / Of wild confusion toil and strife / I fear let's tread the troubled Way, / As dauntless still by Night as Day, / assur'd my artless Innocence, / Protected is by PROVIDENCE / While in the bloom of Youth array'd / From Morning'd Dawn to evening's Shade, / In every Thought which I pursue, / Where e'er I go what e'er I do, / To that last Hour when I go hence / I'll own the Power of PROVIDENCE / Assist me thou unerring Guide, / O'er all my Actions still preside, / What ever lot is rest for me, / I humbly will submit to Thee, / Thou who do'st every thing dispence / All Ruling Mighty PROVIDENCE / Mary Lucas's Work. 1798 //
