| Marks and inscriptions | 'Miss Fenton / While Crowds attentive sit to Polly's Voice, / And in their native Harmony rejoyce; / Th' admiring Throng no vain subscription draws / Nor Affectation prompts a false Applause. / Nature untaught, each Pleasing Strain supply's / Artless as her unbidden Blushes rise, / And Charming as the Mischief in her Eyes.' |
