 | The works, in verse and prose, of the late Robert Treat Paine, Jun. Esq |  |
So fair a form was ne'er by Heaven designed
But with its charms to enslave and bless mankind.
So pure a mind, such high unrivalled worth,
But to recall a paradise on earth!
Then, ye fair Nine, the trembling muse inspire;
In raptured notes awake her feeble lyre;
Now swell your boldest strains! Maria's praise
Claims all the majesty of Homer's lays.
But with its charms to enslave and bless mankind.
So pure a mind, such high unrivalled worth,
But to recall a paradise on earth!
