How to thy ashes shall the muse be just?
For to what member of Apollo's race
Did ever she deny the soft embrace?
What slighted lover or despairing swain
Can of her wrongs or cruelty complain?
No jilting tricks nor coying arts she knew,
But to the amorous kind was ever true,
To every sighing youth resign'd her charms,
And bless'd, at easy rates, his longing arms.
