INSCRIPTION FOR A COTTAGE by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS

Poet Analysis

First Line: OH! GIVE ME, HEAVEN, WHATEVER MY LOT
Last Line: TO ALL HER FROWNS RESIGNED.
Subject(s): HOUSES;
OH! give me, Heaven, whate'er my lot,
Or in the palace, or the cot,
A noble generous mind;
Exalted in a lowly state,
At fortune's favours not elate,
To all her frowns resigned.
