She was one of the greateft Beauties of that age; andyetherBeauty 

 and blooming Youth wcre the laft valuable of her Qualifications. 

 Her Behaviour was fuchas commandedRefpe&andtaughtModefty, 

 a Vertue which for forne rime before feemed to have been banished 

 from Court. With herfelf she gave her Heart and AfTedlions fo 

 entirely to the King her Husband , that she may vel by ranked 

 among thofe, who have been moft remarkablyfamous for conjugal 

 Duty. She did not forget, that she was bom in Denmark, but 

 preferred Scotland to her native Soil, and the Honour ofbeing 

 a Scots Queen to that a being a Daughter of a Monarch adorned 

 with a treble Crown. In fine, her Piety was fo eminent , that her 

 Life and Converfation were Patterns, notonly for the Ladies at 

 Court, but to Virgins shut up inCloyfters, and by the moft folemn 

 Vows and indifpenfable Obligations dedicated to the Service of God.
