Poems on Several Occasions | ||
To a young Lady.
As Persians on the gleamy SkiesGaze, and adore the Sun's Uprise;
So we on young Panthea's Eyes.
25
Did ne'er presage a fairer Day:
As bright as June, as fresh as May.
But as parch'd Eastern Shepherds run
Beneath refreshing Shades, to shun
The Fervors of the Mid-day Sun:
Our Youth shou'd fly the fatal Sight:
Those Eyes, intolerably bright,
Dart scorching Fires, and dazzling Light.
