Permit a giddy trifling girl, 
For once to fill your Poet's Corner. 
She cares not though the critics snarl,
Or beaus and macarronies scorn her.
. . . [28 lines]
ODE TO A FRIEND.
In this fair season let me stray
Far from the lawless seats of strife, 
Where peace and virtue lead the way, 
Where truth emits her cheering ray,
And innocence gives joy to life.
. . . [7 verses]
