Poor mothers that look back! So outcasts from the vale where they were born Turn on their road and, with a joy forlorn, See the far roofs below their arid track: So in chill buffets while the sea grows black .This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
