Than beauty here on earth has given;

Keep but the lovely looks we see,—

The voice we hear,—and you will be

An angel ready-made for heaven!—Moore.

THE LOVER TO HIS MISTRESS, WITH A PRESENT OF A MIRROR.

This mirror my object of love will unfold

Whensoe’er your regard it allures:

Oh, would, when I’m gazing, that I might behold

On its surface the object of yours!

TO A CAPRICIOUS FRIEND.
