TO THE LADIES.
[Verse, signed] Your's, &c. Eumolpus.
Attend ye fair, Calliope the song
Indites to you; to you she sings the arts
That form the mind, and every charm improve;
Which Nature gave, when she from hand profuse
Your beauties prov'd . . . [3 lines]
He invocates; your charms alone inspire
The willing song, and animate the Lay.
. . . [21 lines]
Sweet and inchanting as the siren's song
. . . [24 lines]
Where now are all the celebrated dames,
Whom ancient bards have sung? And where their charms?
. . . [52 lines]
In either sex, while to the harmony
And mingling music, for the lofty dome
Resounding sound, the winding dance begins
. . . [8 lines]
To him the charmer's voice sweet music breaths
Sweeter than all the mingling melody,
And rapt'rous flights of instrumental song
. . . [10 more lines]
