O, haste to catch, ingenious maid,

His remnant beauties ere they fade:

So to th’ admiring world be shown

Fair forms, accomplish’d like your own!

Though aptly might these dells retain

Wild Fancy and her sylvan train,

I ask no fabled nymph to lend

Her idle aid, as I descend;

I seek not such attendants here;

But hail your presence and revere,
