To Miss Farren, on Her Being Absent from Church

While wond'ring Angels, as they look'd from high, Observ'd thine Absence with an holy sigh, To them a bright exalted Seraph said, "Blame not the conduct of the absent Maid! Where'er she goes, her steps can never stray, RELIGION walks Companion of her way: She goes with ev'ry virtuous thought imprest, HEAV'N on her FACE, and HEAV'N within her BREAST."
