LINES TO MISS T--- WITH A PRESENT OF A VOLUME OF POEMS.
Feb. 1, 1792.
O Mary, take, nor coldly slight
This tribute of esteem:
Think not sincerity, like mine,
An airy-woven dream.
Tho' William share the enamour'd hour,
Your heart shall not refuse,
One little moment, to regard
A true devoted Muse.
So shall that faithful Muse, ere long,
The spousal numbers chaunt—
And O! be every blessing yours,
That Love, that Heaven can grant!
50
Still something to the store:
But vainly language would express,
Or Friendship wish you more.
