Oh! sweeter joys her converse can impart!

Sweet to the sense, and grateful to the heart!

Gay pleasures dance where’er her footsteps bend,

And smiles and rapture round the fair attend:

Wit forms her speech, and wisdom fills her mind,

And sight and soul in her their object find.

Her pearly teeth, in beauteous order plac’d;

Her neck with bright, and curling tresses grac’d.

But ah, so fair!—in wit and charms supreme,

Unequal song must quit its darling theme.
