TO ANOTHER.

Welcome, sweet Miss, in ochre bloom,
Trick'd out to grace this glorious room;
Hopp'd from your humble bulk—behind a string—
Where an odd slipper and odd shoe,
Where laces, yellow, red, and blue,
And wig and comb, in graceful order swing!—
A watch of gingerbread—one patten—
A shoe-string, and a stripe of satin;
A handkerchief of check, that makes a blaze;
A various tribe of love-sick sonnet,
Fur tippet, muff, and rusty bonnet;
An infant's pudding, and a pair of stays.
