TO A LADY, Who commended Another's EYES.

By the Same.

In vain by Parallels you strive
Panthea's Eyes to praise;
Perfection which we can't conceive,
Itself alone displays.

Gaze on them only, if you'd know
What dazzling Rays they dart;
But if what piercing Shafts they throw,
Then view my wounded Heart.
