ON Mrs. W---n,
Wearing a Diamond Crescent in her Hair in the Rooms at Bath.
Chaste Dian's Crescent on her front display'd,Behold the Wife proclaims herself a Maid!
Come fierce Taillárd, or fiercer Julius come,
On this fair subject urge the contest home.
Pluck honour from this emblematic Moon,
And solve the point that puzzles W---n.
This radiant emblem you may thence transpose,
And give the horned Crescent to the Spouse.
