UPON STELLA

Appearing always at her Window.

I

Young Stella bright in Beauty's early Dawn
Displays to constant View her radiant Eyes,
But unregarded like the daily Sun
Her glaring Charms are seen without Surprize.

O would the fair One shine with well-tim'd Care,
Like Comets rare amidst the gloomy Sky,
Then would the Nymph be fatal as the Star,
Then Worlds would burn, and haughty Princes die.
