On Miss Esther H---r---s.
No Wonder Persia's King was mov'd,
With Esther's powerful Charms;
Or Haman proud a Victim fell,
To Love's all conqu'ring Arms:
With Esther's powerful Charms;
Or Haman proud a Victim fell,
To Love's all conqu'ring Arms:
But had the mighty Monarch liv'd,
In these our halcyon Days;
Fair Esther H---r---s would have struck,
His Soul with strange Amaze.
In these our halcyon Days;
Fair Esther H---r---s would have struck,
His Soul with strange Amaze.
Not Rapture then had let him bow,
The Scepter's Royal Pride;
The Joy had too ecstatic been,
Himself had bow'd—and dy'd.
