THE ADDRESS.

To the same.

Thou Fairest, most Divine of Human Kind!
Angel in Form, and Goddess in thy Mind,
I've seen you, Charmer! that alone will prove,
As I have seen, so I of Course must Love.
I own I merit not One so Divine;
But yet, if Love is Merit, you are mine.
Then to my Fate the last Decision give;
Or frown me into Dust, or smile and bid me Live.
