An EXTEMPORE.
To a Young Lady whose Eyes were muffled on Account of a Cold.
The Gods, in Pity to Mankind,
Sweet Fair! that Judgement sent;
Yet, Cupid like, tho' now you are blind,
'Twill not our Fate prevent.
Sweet Fair! that Judgement sent;
Yet, Cupid like, tho' now you are blind,
'Twill not our Fate prevent.
While we have Eyes, alas! 'twere vain
To boast our Hearts our own;
Resistless, still you'll there maintain
A sure, unrivall'd Throne.
To boast our Hearts our own;
Resistless, still you'll there maintain
A sure, unrivall'd Throne.
