'TIS a famous Character
Which I oft have heard of Her••
Corresponding to the Fame
Of her Noble Father's Name.

Thus Religion understood,
Often runneth in a Bloud:
And, for multitude we find
Most what of the Woman-kind.

This is still the true Renown,
Vertue! which puts envy down:
So the Sacred Book defines
All the Ancient Heroines.
