To LAURA.

When Paris saw the bright Celestial Three,
And view'd those Beauties, now reviv'd in Thee,
Hadst thou, my Laura, seen the grand Dispute,
Hadst thou contended for the glitt'ring Fruit;
Heaven's Queen had found her princely Presents vain,
Nor proffer'd Empires you alone could gain;
Pallas abash'd, had own'd with sweet Surprize,
The silent Eloquence of magic Eyes:
Such Eyes had smil'd Thee fairest of the Fair.
And Venus own'd a brighter Venus there.
Tho' Venus shone with each alluring Grace,
Her Charms had only gain'd a second Place:
Thine! Thine had won the Shepherd's noble Part,
Tho' Hers the Apple, Thine had been his Heart.
