SONNET LIII. To her who will understand this, and the two preceding ones.
4th Oct. 1807.
To her I bring these trophies of thy reign,
Oh sentiment! thy most beloved child!
Soft is her look, as if an angel smiled;
And musical her voice, as when the strain
Of shepherd's flute along the twilight plain
Is heard from far; her step is calm and mild:
Pride, and persuasive grace, seem reconciled
In her, to consummate what poets feign.
To thee I bring these trophies, beauteous form!
Round whom taste, elegance, and fancy breathe,
To fashion's courtly ease you add the charm,
To deem no thing that hath a heart beneath
Solicitous benignity!—Hence, warm
With partial thoughts, I twine the unworthy wreathe.
