The Shamrock | ||
To a LADY, With a PRAYER-BOOK.
This little Book, these humble Lines,
Myra, to thee, the Poet sends;
And, thus, to Time the Boast consigns,
That thou, and Flavius, were his Friends.
Myra, to thee, the Poet sends;
And, thus, to Time the Boast consigns,
That thou, and Flavius, were his Friends.
These Lines, whene'er, compell'd by Power,
He leaves the Hearts he loves behind,
Shall oft recall the social Hour;
And—shall rush upon thy Mind.
He leaves the Hearts he loves behind,
Shall oft recall the social Hour;
And—shall rush upon thy Mind.
Dear to thy Thoughts, he still shall prove;
Thy friendly Wish he still shall share;
His Worth, recorded in thy Love;
His Sins, remember'd in thy Prayer.
Thy friendly Wish he still shall share;
His Worth, recorded in thy Love;
His Sins, remember'd in thy Prayer.
