[217] Suggested by a picture in the possession of Charles Aders, Esq.

Euston-square, in which is represented the Legend of a poor female

Saint, who, having spun past midnight to maintain a bed-rid mother,

has fallen asleep from fatigue, and Angels are finishing her work. In

another part of the chamber, an Angel is tending a lily, the emblem of

her purity.
