To Mrs. A. H. occasioned by seeing her Seal a Letter with the Impression of a Cupid.

Thus from your eyes united beams conspire,
To kindle in our souls a pleasing fire;
Each softening heart dissolves within its breast,
And love, as on this wax, is there imprest:
And when 't has once the dear impression took,
'Till death it holds, as this does 'till it's broke.
