Lucretia Maria Davidson Quotes

“Though I were gifted with an angel's tongue,
And voice like that with which the prophets sung,
Yet if mild charity were not within,
'T were all an impious mockery and sin.”

Lucretia Maria Davidson

Charity

“Leaning on thy dear faithful breast,
I would resign my breath,
And in thy loved embraces lose
The bitterness of death.”

Lucretia Maria Davidson
