To Mrs. T---t.
Where, in this land, (Alzira cry'd)
Shall Indian virtues rest?
Who will be, here, the stranger's guide,
And lead her to be blest?

Seek, said the whisp'ring muse, some fair,
Of England's beauteous race:
Who does, herself, those virtues share,
Which most Alzira grace.
Of England's beauteous race:
Who does, herself, those virtues share,
Which most Alzira grace.
One, who has taste, as nobly strong,
And charms, as softly sweet;
Will guard her sister soul from wrong,
While graces, graces meet.
And charms, as softly sweet;
Will guard her sister soul from wrong,
While graces, graces meet.
I took the muse's kind advice,
Look'd round the fair and bright,
And found Alzira, in a trice,
Was matchless T---t's right.
