Familiar fondness

In the same sence of her it may be said 
Whos guiding hand my infant foot-steps led 
To learning path that her impressing plan 
First laid the basis of the future man 
& by imbibing what she simply taught 
My taste for reading there was surely caught 
However if it was or not fullfild 
(In philosophic arguments not skilld)
Its naught to me her memory can impart 
Familiar fondness to a feeling heart
