TO A Young LADY,

Who admirably supported the Character of a Judge, at Mrs. Phipps's Masquerade in Hampshire, 1765.

That Law's a dull, laborious thing
All people readily allow;
To love it few their minds can bring,
To me, it ne'er had Charms till now.

But when the Judge's look and mien,
So well the sprightly Fergus hit,
Quite chang'd was then this Study seen,
For each man wish'd to follow it.

Had Montesquieu but heard this Maid
Decide so smartly ev'ry Cause,
He'd not have scrupled to have said,
“She speaks the Spirit of the Laws!”
