The text is Phillis Wheatley's original poetry ,spelling preserved and all! I searched all over to find the famous poet's actual words and here they are. If you are researching Phillis this is a must-read.

This review is from: The Collected Works of Phillis Wheatley (Schomburg Library of Nineteenth-Century Black Women Writers) (Paperback)
Phillis Wheatley wrote mannered poetry invoking classical allusions; noble, conservative sentiments of formal ideals and notions of beauty; in patterned rhyme schemes. Her literacy and intellectual cultivation surprised other people in her day, but should not have. Mind and heart have never been completely in tandem with social constructs of position. I wish I could have met her, and I'm glad that her poetry is still alive. I wish I could write back.
