LINES, PRESENTED WITH A ROSE-BUD, TO A VERY YOUNG LADY,
Who appeared at the FANCY-BALL, at the Castle, in the Character of Flora.
Sweet Bud, whose forward Bloom displays
The Promise of a beauteous Flower,
May no rude Blight thy Freshness seize!
No Worm thy tender Leaf devour!
The Promise of a beauteous Flower,
May no rude Blight thy Freshness seize!
No Worm thy tender Leaf devour!
Light fall the Rains upon thy Head,
Safe be thy Beauty from the Storm,
'Till Spring's soft Breath thy Blossom spread,
And May unfold thy perfect Form!
Safe be thy Beauty from the Storm,
'Till Spring's soft Breath thy Blossom spread,
And May unfold thy perfect Form!
So, sweet to smell, and fair to view,
Thy ripen'd Glow shall long be seen;
And every Flower that drinks the Dew
Shall bow in Homage to it's Queen.
Thy ripen'd Glow shall long be seen;
And every Flower that drinks the Dew
Shall bow in Homage to it's Queen.
