Inquire thy wants, and meet thee in thy way;

She has her blandishments, and, though so weak,

Her person pleases, and her actions speak:

At first her folly may her aim defeat;

But kindness shown, at length will kindness meet:

Have some offended? them will she disdain,

And, for thy sake, contempt and pity feign;

She hates the vulgar, she admires to look

On woods and groves, and dotes upon a book;

Let her once see thee on her features dwell,
