Or her seraphic Soul, and tuneful tongue Breath'd the soft pray'r or mull'd the solemn song. Let Dibestines, or envious vestals blame Or load with diloquy, Augusta's name Their praise in satire, their detraction tame. Each purer maid such conduct must approve And every worthy youth, must surely love.
