To S. D---
Had I the Eagle's piercing Sight;The rapid Dove's unwearied Flight:
Cou'd I my Love to love excite;
Like her receive, and give Delight:
Cou'd I be secret as the Night;
Convince all Parties of the Right;
For ever quell my Foes in Fight;
Dare, all I cou'd; say, all I might;
Like you, renowned Poet, write;
I then shou'd be a happy Wight!
