1846 Lamb (C.) An original and presumably unpublished MS. Poem by Mary Lamb to Emma Isola, transcribed in the handwriting of Charles Lamb, with a Note by the latter respecting an allusion to Sarah Coleridge, on one sheet, as follows:

To Emma, learning Latin, and desponding.
Droop not, dear Emma, dry those falling tears,
And call up smiles into thy pallid face,
Pallid and care-worn with thy arduous race.

In few brief months thou hast done the work of years.
In new tasks hardest still the first appears.

A right good Scholar shalt thou one day be,
And that no distant one; nay, even She,
Who now to thee a star far off appears,
That most rare Latinist, the Northern Maid-
The language-loving Sarah of the Lake-
Shall hail thee Sister Linguist. This will make
Thy friends, who now afford thee careful aid,
A recompence most rich for all their pains,
Counting thy acquisitions their best gains.

Enfield, 22 Augst., 1827.
Mary Ann Lamb.
The young lady alluded to in these lines is the daughter of
our honoured friend, S. T. Coleridge, Esqr., and translatress
of a "History of the Abipones." C. L. (i.e., Charles Lamb)
