Quotation
On Myselfe
Good Heav'n, I thank thee, since it was design'd / I shou'd be fram'd, but of the weaker kinde, / That yet, my Soul, is rescu'd from the Love / Of all those Trifles, which their Passions move. / Pleasures, and Praise, and Plenty haue with me / But their just value. If allow'd they be, / Freely, and thankfully as much I tast, / As will not reason, or Religion wast. / If they're deny'd, I on my selfe can Liue, / And slight those aids, unequal chance does give. / When in the Sun, my wings can be display'd, / And in retirement, I can bless the shade.

Biographical
One of the earliest published women poets in England. Her poetry sparkles with witty commentary and playful humour. She writes with clear conviction of what she sees and experiences. Her voice is direct, personal and immediate. It has been suggested that she may be the best woman poet in England prior to the nineteenth century. [Adapted from Celebration of Women Writers]
