EPIGRAM. On a CUP OF TEA, spilt in a LADY's Lap.
Mourn not, Amira, that to Love's Abode
The warm, adventurous Stream presum'd to press.
Not Chance, but some unseen, admiring God
In rapturous Ardor sought the sweet Recess:
The warm, adventurous Stream presum'd to press.
Not Chance, but some unseen, admiring God
In rapturous Ardor sought the sweet Recess:
Nor doubt what Deity, so greatly bold,
In Form unusual thus should visit thee;
The God, who ravish'd in a Shower of Gold,
Can charm the Fair-one in Imperial Tea.
In Form unusual thus should visit thee;
The God, who ravish'd in a Shower of Gold,
Can charm the Fair-one in Imperial Tea.
