Fragmented ode to Astrea and moral venom in verse
The text presents a lyrical address to Astrea and Mrs. Yearsley, weaving imagery of morning birds, care, and virtue. It depicts malice arising from friendship, attacking the nurse and her brood, with poison and pollution spread along the path of worth. A cherubic infant, fear, and a veiled purity appear as the scene resolves toward Truth crowned by an angel.
