ADVICE to Miss B---R.
WRITTEN By Mr. QUIN, on his first becoming acquainted with her.
Fair Nymph, shun that voracious Creature,Who preys on Rarities of Nature;
He would devour a tempting Bait,
Like you, so sweet, and delicate;
He'd such a Dainty quickly eat,
And riot in the luscious Treat;
He'd think himself in Heaven a Guest,
And that Ambrosia was his Feast;
112
He'd think you Manna from the Sky;
For he, in you, like that, would find
The Taste of every Dainty join'd.
