"But now, my Muse, the arduous Task engage, / And show the Charming Figure on the Stage, / Describe her Look, her Action, Voice and Mein, / The gay Coquette, soft Maid, or haughty Queen, / So bright she [Mrs. Oldfield] shone in every different Part, / She gain'd despotick Empire o'er the Heart, / Knew how each various Motion to controul, / Sooth every Passion, and subdue the Soul."
A Poem To the Memory of Mrs Oldfield, Inscrib'd to the Honourable Brigadier Charles Churchill
