Gertrude Aston Thimelby, Tixall Poetry — To Cannall, in Mourning (1813)
“ In favor of our eyes we must be gon,For if we stay, we shall pertake a moaneNot common, since all obiects speake this crosseAs no particular but a general losse.Come gratitude, and let selfe-love depart;Weele stay and hear it, though it breake our hart. ”
