TO MISS CATHERINE WINGFIELD.
OCTOBER 1794.
O may this silken prison long contain
Love's tender vows, and Friendship's cordial strain!
Yet ne'er for thee, may sorrow's darken'd hours
Require, lov'd maid, their sympathetic powers;
Still may indulgent Heaven, with guardian care,
Ordain thee happy, as it form'd thee fair!
