Return'd in Answer to a poetical Compliment from Miss ---
From the poetic Hill or Shade,Or where you please, dear tuneful Maid;
These Lines to thee Maria sends,
To thee, her best of earthly Friends:
Pleas'd with your Love, proud of your Praise,
And grac'd by your harmonious Lays;
She wears upon her honour'd Brow,
The darling Glories you bestow:
And since you've made her so divine,
An early Visit shall be thine;
She'll come in all her Radiance dress'd;
Prepare for your celestial Guest,
196
Fit for the Muses, or for Me:
This Day, the same that gave her Birth,
She means to pass with thee in Mirth:
To Chat and Laugh, and be as free,
As any mortal Maid can be.
