TO A POET of Quality, PRAISING THE Lady HINCHINBROKE.

I

Of thy judicious Muse's sense,
Young Hinchinbroke so very proud is,
That Sacharissa, and Hortense,
She looks, henceforth, upon as Doudies.

II

Yet She to One must still submit,
To dear mamma must pay Her duty,
She wonders praising Wilmot's wit,
Thou shou'dst forget His Daughter's beauty.
