The Baroness died on the 29 Janry
1803
A few days before her death she wrote
with a pencil
To Hope
Descend Immortal Messenger! and bring
Celestial Comfort on thy downy wing,
Queen of the cheering Smile, Heart soothing Voice
O! bid my tumid, panting heart rejoice!
Pour o'er my wounded breast thy precious balm,
And every anxious doubt, and terror calm.
Disease and pain with one bright smile destroy,
Hush present Griefs, with dreams of future Joy.
