. . . [6 lines introduction]
TO MISS M--- C---
Fairest nymph where all are fair,
Deign accept your poet's lays;
And to lend a list'ning ear,
While the muse this tribute pays.
. . . [12 lines]
Hark! she strikes the trembling lyre,
Swift her snowy fingers move;
Lo! around each young desire
Dances with each sportive love.
Not Apollo plays so well,
Tho' to him soft strains belong,
She can all his power excell,
Softer, sweeter, is her song.
