Your sincere friend and ardent admirer,
OLIVER GOLDSMITH.
"The bashful virgin's sidelong looks of love,
The matron's glance that would those looks reprove."—p. 191.
THE DESERTED VILLAGE.
Sweet Auburn! loveliest village of the plain,
Where health and plenty cheer'd the labouring swain,
Where smiling spring its earliest visit paid,
And parting summer's lingering blooms delay'd:
Dear lovely bowers of innocence and ease,
