ON A LADY'S WRITING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD

Poet Analysis

First Line: HER EVEN LINES HER STEADY TEMPER SHOW
Last Line: THAT FORM HER MANNERS AND HER FOOTSTEPS GUIDE.
Subject(s): WOMEN WRITERS;

HER even lines her steady temper show;
Neat as her dress, and polish'd as her brow;
Strong as her judgment, easy as her air;
Correct though free, and regular though fair:
And the same graces o'er her pen preside
That form her manners and her footsteps guide.
