London. . . July 24. . . To Miss Raftor, on her success in
the part of Polly in the Beggars Opera.
By Nature form'd to grace the British stage,
See Raftor rise, the darling of the age!
Such pow'r to act, such strong desire to please,
So much improvement, yet with so much ease,
What have we not to hope when rep'ning time
Shall turn what's now surprizing to sublime?
Proceed dear girl! thou has begun so well,
Sure as thou striv'st, so sure thou shalt excell.
