Excerpt from Poems, Vol. 1 of 2: Descriptive Dramatic, Legendary and Contemplative

A parlor in the house of Mrs. Jervas, in Walnut-street, Philadelphia. Mrs. Jervas and Robert Warren discovered - the latter entering hastily with discomposure.

Mrs. Jervas, [eagerly.] Well?

Warren. It is not well! 'Tis ill! She has refused me!

Mrs. J. Has she then dared?

Warren. Ay, has she! Something farther -
She does not scruple to avow her passion
For my most worthy cousin, Norman Maurice.

Mrs. J. She shall repent it - she shall disavow it,
Or she shall know! - I'll teach her! -

Warren. She's a pupil
With will enough of her own to vex a master!

Mrs. J. I have a will too, which shall master her!
Is she not mine? - my sister's child? - a beggar,
That breathes but by my charity! I'll teach her,
And she shall learn the lesson set for her,
Or I will turn her naked into the streets,
As pennyless as she came.
