Her Wit and Beauty were at many frays,

"Whether the deep impressions did cause?"

"Nature!" said Beauty; Art, her Wit did praise:

Love thought her Face; her tongue had Truth's applause.

Whilst they contend, Which was the better part?

I lent an eye; She robbed me of my heart!

Sisters these two are, like the Day and Night:

Their glories, by their virtues they do merit,

One as the Day to see the other's might;

The other's Night to shadow a high spirit.
