Title:     To The Late Lady Rouse Boughton [Vignette 12]
Author: Matilda Betham [More Titles by Betham]

'Tis said, that jealous of a name
We all would praise confine,
And choke the leading path to fame
In our peculiar line.

But vainly should detraction preach
If once I made it known,
The art of pleasing thou would'st teach
Acknowledg'd for thy own.

[The end]
Matilda Betham's poem: To The Late Lady Rouse Boughton - Vignette 12
