J. C. Squire, ed. A Book of Women’s Verse. 1921.

By Laetitia Pilkington (1712–1750)

Written on her Death-Bed

MY Lord, my Saviour, and my God,

I bow to thy correcting rod;

Nor will I murmur or complain,

Tho’ every limb be fill’d with pain;

Tho’ my weak tongue its aid denies;

And daylight wounds my wretched eyes.
