Phœbe Dawson

gaily cross’d the Green,

In haste to see, and happy to be seen:

Her air, her manners, all who saw admired;

Courteous though coy, and gentle though retired;

The joy of youth and health her eyes display’d,

And ease of heart her every look convey’d;

A native skill her simple robes express’d,

As with untutor’d elegance she dress’d;

The lads around admired so fair a sight,
