Living
The Sisters
From The Works of Charles and Mary Lamb, IV: Poems and Plays, ed. E. V. Lucas
Living
On Emma's honest brow we read display'd
The constant virtues of the Nut Brown Maid;
Mellifluous sounds on Clara's tongue we hear,
Notes that once lured a Seraph from his sphere;
Cecilia's eyes such winning beauties crown
As without song might draw her Angel down.
