ENIGMA. Mrs. M---ll---r.
The breast of a goddess I once did alarm;With my beauty and voice she fear'd I should charm
Her slumbering swain,—so determin'd my fall,
And diminish'd my figure;—yet I at a ball

I've startled the heroes, augmenting their rage;
Tho' the Grand Turk were present, unaw'd by his state,
On his Fatima's lips I'd again tempt my fate.
