IX. IMPROMPTU.
Written on the sea-shore with a party of ladies.
Charm'd, we view the stormy mainWhile conflicting winds complain;
Charm'd, behold th' unruffled deep,
While the billowy horrors sleep.
Ever various as the seas
Thus can lovely woman please—
When her beauties smile serene,
Rapture dwells upon her mien;
When they flash their angry fire,
Tho' we tremble, we admire!
