INSCRIBED ON A WORK OF HANNAH MORE'S
PRESENTED TO THE AUTHOR BY A LADY
Thou flatt'ring mark of friendship kind,Still may thy pages call to mind
The dear, the beauteous donor!
Tho' sweetly female ev'ry part,
Yet such a head and—more—the heart
Does both the sexes honor:
214
When she selected thee,
Yet deviating, own I must,
For so approving me:
But, kind still, I mind still
The giver in the gift;
I'll bless her, and wiss her
A Friend aboon the lift.
