Subject(s): Curses; Disease; Graves; Leprosy; Small Pox; Tombs; Tombstones; Lepers
BE curst the time of Bullen's fatal birth;
Wrinkles like age anticipate her youth;
Mildews and blasts devour her wanton beauties;
Small-pox and leprosy rough-cast her o'er,
Dig up her charms and features by the roots,
And bury them in pits as deep as graves.
