THE ANSWER.
What can I say to things so fine,
Which you have sent to me,
For, such a pretty Valentine
I ne’er before did see?
Who would have thought this homely face
Could thus defy your art,
And that my picture you could trace
No where but in your heart?
If flattery can a female please,
You’re master of design,
That pencil you can use with ease,
My painting Valentine.
