Poetical amusements at a villa near Bath | ||

ENIGMA. Mrs. M---ll---r.
Ever brilliant, ever charming, I defy the power of timeTo deprive me of adorers, tho' oft I'm purchas'd by a rhyme;

Court and senate, still contending, sing my praise in various lays:
Midnight ball, nor opera, glitt'ring, without me afford no pleasure;
Yet joyless pass his anxious moments, who to me devotes his leisure.
