BY

SARAH ANN HOOK,

AUTHOR OF THE WIDOWED BRIDE; OR, CELINA.

Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see,

Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be.

In ev'ry work, regard the writer's end,

Since none can compass more than they intend: -
And if the means be just, the conduct true,
Applause, in spite of trivial faults, is due.

Pope's Essay on Criticism.
