I shall not live in Vain.

Title divine — is mine!
The Wife — without the Sign!
Acute Degree — conferred on me —
Empress of Calvary!
Royal — all but the Crown!
Betrothed — without the swoon
God sends us Women —
When you — hold — Garnet to Garnet —
Gold — to Gold —

Born — Bridalled — Shrouded —
In a Day —
Tri Victory
«My Husband» — women say —
Stroking the Melody —
Is this — the way?

We never know how high we are
Till we are called to rise
And then if we are true to plan
Our statures touch the skies —

The Heroism we recite
Would be a daily thing
Did not ourselves the Cubits warp
For fear to be a King —

Rememberance has a Rear and Front —
'T is something like a House —
It has a Garret also
For Refuse and the Mouse,

Besides the deepest Cellar
That ever Mason laid —
Look to it by its Fathoms
Ourselves be not pursued —

A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.

There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us Lands away
Nor any Coursers like a Page
Of prancing Poetry —

This Traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of Toll —
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears the Human soul.
