Abstract:
Manuscript entitled "To my pretty Cous," reminding her about her mortality and the need to prepare for death. "Emeline remember you are mortal, That you are born to die. Those sparkling eyes of beauty will soon close to awake no more untill the Resurrection morn. Your rosy cheeks that flush with the blush of innocence will soon be pale in death. Your lips on which rests the smile of content will close forever. Your hands that labour with delight will ere long be folded on your lifeless bosome. The winding sheet enshroud you and the coffin confine you. And now prepare and delay not for death awaits you."
