On a Thursday she was born,
On a Thursday made a bride,
On a Thursday put to bed,
On a Thursday broke her leg, and
On a Thursday died.

Sarah Higmore, æt. 6.
Ye modern fair, who’er you be,
This Truth we can aver:
A lesson of humility
You all may learn from her.
She had what none of you can boast,
With all your Wit and Sense—
She had what you, alas! have lost,
And that was—Innocence.
