SONNET XIII. TO THE SAME.
6th June, 1800.
Heed not the tongue, nor heed the brutal look;
Pure Maiden heed them not, though they assail
Thy simple ear with many a baneful tale;
Thine eye with insult thou disdainst to brook!
Keep that indignant soul! and Folly, strook
With shame, (if shame o'er Folly e'er prevail,)
Shall hie him back with disappointment pale,
And mutter fresh spells o'er his cursed book.
Mutter'd in vain!—For, disenchanted thou,
No spell can wither thee, no charm can bind;
Nature hath heard thy youth's religious vow,
And 'till thou art in her sanctuary shrin'd,
She, watchful for her Child, shall chase away
“Terrors by night, and enemies by day.”
