To a YOUNG LADY,
With the Foregoing.
Ask not, sweet Innocence, what Grace
Sate for the Picture which I drew:—
Each skilful Eye around can trace
The bright Original in You.

“The Brow, where Sense, and Sweetness shine;
“The Look, which wakes, yet checks, Desire;”
The Form; the Features; all are thine;
'Tis your own Image you admire.
“The Look, which wakes, yet checks, Desire;”
The Form; the Features; all are thine;
'Tis your own Image you admire.
Unconscious of her Charms, thus Eve
Lean'd o'er the Margin of the Flood;
Beheld a Wonder in the Wave;
And prais'd the Beauty she bestow'd.
Lean'd o'er the Margin of the Flood;
Beheld a Wonder in the Wave;
And prais'd the Beauty she bestow'd.
