TO THE LADY ELIZABETH HARLEY by MATTHEW PRIOR

First Line: WHEN FUTURE AGES SHALL WITH WONDER VIEW
Last Line: A FAIRER COLUMN TO THE FATHER'S PRAISE.
Subject(s): ENGLAND; FUTURE; PRAISE; ENGLISH;

WHEN future ages shall with wonder view
These glorious lines, which Harley's daughter drew,
They shall confess, that Britain could not raise
A fairer column to the father's praise.
