WRITTEN BENEATH A PICTURE.
1
Beneath this sketch of Mary's face,How vainly does the muse essay
To add one gleam to Beauty's grace,
Or splendor to its heavenly ray!
2
'Twere vain to draw in brighter glowThe workings of the painter's art:
Suffice it, lovely Girl, to know—
Their charms enslav'd my doating heart!
