　　LINESI

　　Suggested by a Picture of Two Females by Lionardo da Vinci.

　　(By Mary Lamb. 1804)

　　The Lady Blanch, regardless of all her lovers' fears,

　　To the Urs'line convent hastens, and long the Abbess hears.

　　"O Blanch, my child, repent ye of the courtly life ye lead."

　　Blanch looked on a rose-bud and little seem'd to heed.

　　She looked on the rose-bud, she looked round, and thought

　　On all her heart had whisper'd, and all the Nun had taught.

　　"I am worshipped by lovers, and brightly shines my fame,

　　All Christendom resoundeth the noble Blanch's name.

　　Nor shall I quickly wither like the rose-bud from the tree,

　　My queen-like graces shining when my beauty's gone from me.

　　But when the sculptur'd marble is raised o'er my head,

　　And the matchless Blanch lies lifeless among the noble dead,

　　This saintly lady Abbess hath made me justly fear,

　　It nothing will avail me that I were worshipp'd here." The Works of Charles and Mary Lamb — Volume 4
