 | Matthew Prior. Poems on Several Occasions |  |
TO THE COUNTESS of DORSET.
Written in her Milton.
By Mr. BRADBURY.
See here, how bright the first-born Virgin shone;
And how the first fond Lover was undone.
Such charming Words our beauteous Mother spoke,
As Milton wrote; and such as Your's Her Look.
Your's the best Copy of th' Original Face,
Whose Beauty was to furnish all the Race:
Such Chains no Author could escape but He:
There's no Way to be safe, but not to See.
