VERSES
Wrote in the Blank Leaf of
Mrs. Haywood’s Novel.
Of all the Passions given us from above,
The Noblest, Truest, and the Best, is Love;
’Tis Love awakes the Soul, informs the Mind,
And bends the stubborn Temper to be kind,
Abates the Edge of ev’ry poi’nant Care
Succeeds the Wishes of the trembling Fair,
And ravishes the Lover from Despair.
’Tis Love Eliza’s soft Affections fires,
Eliza writes, but Love alone inspires;
