ON THE MORAL REFLECTIONS CONTAINED IN HER ANSWER TO THE ABOVE VERSES.
TO MISS CRACROFT.
1761.
Sweet moralist! whose moving truths impart
At once delight and anguish to my heart!
Tho' human joys their short-liv'd sweets exhale
Like the wan beauties of the wasted vale;
Yet trust the Muse, fair friendship's flower shall last,
When life's short sunshine, like its storms is past;
Bloom in the fields of some ambrosial shore,
Where Time, and Death, and Sickness are no more.
