- (SUBLIME THOUGHT] / Could we with Ink the Ocean fill / Were the whole earth of parchme[n]t made / Were every single stick a Quill / And every man a scribe by trade / To write the Love of GOD above / Would drain the Ocean dry / Nor could this Scroll contain the whole / Tho stretcht from sky to sky / Were the whole realm of nature mine / That were a present far too small / Love so amazing so divine / Demands my soul my life my all / Sally Brierleys Work Aged 15 Years / 1828 //
