First Line: Her even lines her steady temper show
Last Line: That form her manners and her footsteps guide.
Alternate Author Name(s): Aikin, Anna Letitia
Subject(s): Women Writers


HER even lines her steady temper show;
Neat as her dress, and polish'd as her brow;
Strong as her judgment, easy as her air;
Correct though free, and regular though fair:
And the same graces o'er her pen preside
That form her manners and her footsteps guide.
