For this last her ladyship was thus noticed in Duncombe's Feminead:^[4]

"By generous views, one peeress more demands

A grateful tribute from all female hands ;

One, who to shield them from the worst of foes,

In their just cause dar'd Pope himself oppose.

Their own dark forms, deceit and envy wear.

By Irwin touch'd with truth's celestial spear."
