Inscription on a Grotto of Shells at Crux-Easton, the Work of Nine young Ladies.
By Mr. POPE.
Here shunning idleness at once and praise,This radiant pile nine rural sisters raise;
The glitt'ring emblem of each spotless dame,
Clear as her soul, and shining as her frame;
162
And such a polish as disgraces Art;
But Fate dispos'd them in this humble sort,
And hid in desarts what wou'd charm a court.
