ON ——.

A brainless beauty, a would-be coquette,

A brow of marble, but a heart of jet;

An eye that shows no vestige of the deep

And stained thoughts that in her bosom sleep:

By day a vestal, but by night a bawd;

Her ways a riddle, her whole life a fraud;

At church an angel, but at home a shrew,

Cheating her mother, to her sire untrue;
