THE

LIFE

OF

HANNAH MORE:

WITH

NOTICES OF HER SISTERS.

BY

HENRY THOMPSON, M. A.

(ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE.)

CURATE OF WRINGTON, SOMERSET.

Fu giusta, e saggia, e forte;

Onor del sesso ——

Donna che fuor della volgare schiera

Il Ciel già diede al secol nostro in sorte;
Donna che altrui fu norma, e norma solo

Di sè dando a sè stessa, in sè prescrisse
Leggi agli affetti, e frenò l'ira e 'l duolo;
Donna che, in quanto fece, e in quanto disse,
Tanto levossi sopra l' altre a volo,

Che mortal ne sembrò sol perchè visse."

FILICAJA, Sonnetto xxviii.
