From the Country Journal, London, March 5. 1737. [Re. death
of Mrs. Elizabeth Rowe, formerly Mrs. Singer, on 20 February
1737]
Boston, April 26. [2 paras]
Music, poetry and painting were her three beauties and
delights. . . [3 lines + 1 para]
When Mr. Rowe courted her, he wrote thus to a gentleman
neighbour to Mr. Singer, and intimate at his house. Jan.
19. 1710.
Godess of harmony, thy succour bring,
Whilst I thy darling Philomela sing.
In vain I call, no hears the muse my pray'r,
Hurry'd away be winds and lost in the air.
. . . [70 lines] Thomas Rowe.
. . . [5 paras]
