MISS B***Y.

AUGUST, yet meek; superior, but not vain;
Extatic B***y joins the envied train.
To live beneath the radiance of her eye,
The haughty supplicate—the gallant sigh;
The milder Graces prompt her blameless deed,
She claims our honour, and receives the meed.
119

As o'er the haunts of Innocency spread
The dulcet woodbine to illume her shed;
Thus steals the smile upon her coral lip,
Where Nation's Lords might honey'd essence sip;
Giving what Agony denies to Sin,
External sweetness to the good within:
Deep in the bright recesses of her breast,
The fear of God rules Fashion's gay behest;
For her the ministry of Peace prevail,
And smooth the points of the Æolian gale:
For her the Seasons in obedience rise,
For her the Thunders sleep amid the skies.
Like Britain's Charlotte, who sublimes command,
And breathes 'twixt Vengeance and a guilty land.
