- Treasures, though small attained on true principals of virtue are sweet in / the possession, and while we walk in the light of the Lord, there is / True comfort and satisfaction. Innocent youth exceeds the fragrance of roses. / / From each terrestrial bondage set me free / Still every wish that centres not in thee / Bid my fond hopes my vain disquiet cease / And point my path to everlasting peace. / / Sarah Pennock / 1805
