- WOMAN / / As some fair violet loveliest of the glade / Sheds its mild fragrance on the lonely shade / So Woman born to dignify retreat / Unknown to flourish and unseen be great / To give domestic life its sweetest charm / With softness polish and with virtue warm / With angel kindness should behold distress / And meekly pity where she cant redress / / / Ruth * Titus / 1820
