STANZAS TO LADY B

For as glowing language as e'er eame
From Poet with the tender paffion fir'd,
T'exprefs the wonders of thy charming frame,
Which ev'n when first beheld my foul in-
fpir'd!

The morning rose-bud bursting to the fight,
Bedropp'd with orient gems of glit'ning

dew,

Contemplated with still increas'd delight, Thy youth, and bloom, and fweetnefs brings to view.

Nature a correfponding voice bestows,

The fine fenfations of thy breast to tell; The dulcet founds, thy ruby lips compofe, all

The tendereft ftrains of Philomel excel.

Ev'n in the fwan's, borne down the gentle ftream,

Thy eaty way along its banks we trace Thy form fome fabled Naiad's form we deem, Moulded in fymmetry, and fluth'd with grace.

And fill thy foft celeftial glances play

Expresive from thy fpirit all benign,
Like early gleams of ever welcome day?
The meek expounders of their fourced vine.
Thus far, O Julia, deign to mark my song,

As in the fmiles of flattering hope clare;
Borne by the radiance of thy charms al bag,
I quit my forrows, and forget my fate.
But foon reflection's tear my cheek bedews;
"For, as the ftricken blind the fun regret,
When memory thus thy every charm renews,

When they but gaze of her.

Without thefe trappings to poffefs
The lively fair be mine.

Juftice and Love, they both were blind
Mythologifts agree;

But now reftor'd their fight we find,
And Love can better fee.

The double band let Justice fold,

And veil thofe eyes defect,
Which only Hat and Shoe behold,
And Anna's felf negle&t!

Which that firarkoman

Which erft the Roman breast inflam'd;
And taught rapt fages to admire [tream'd-
The fource whence all their glories
Glones that thall for ever thine,

Since made by you, fweet Nymph! divine.
Defcend, bright native of the skies,

And all my youthful breaft infpire;
For lo! to thee my withes rife,

While grateful founds my votive lyre:
Then hear me, Goddefs, and impart
Thy influence to my panting heart.
O to my longing eyes display

Thote charins which never can expires
And while tranfported I furvey ~

The objects of my foul s defire,
Let me, ob! let me, freely provẹ
The warmth of an heroic love.
Bleft as th' Athenian fage of yore
(To whom so oft confeft you stood)
May I uncealingly adore

Thee, O thou beautiful and good!
And, confcious of thy heav'nly birth,
Refound thy praife-extol thy worth.
For oh! if uninfpir'd by thee,

How joyless pafs our fleeting years!
In vain we feek felicity,

And droop in this low vale of tears,
Where, by thy guardian pow'r unbleft,
Fierce demons tear the human breast.
But oh! a happier fate belongs

To me, if you, celeftial maid!
Befriend the bard, whofe loftiest fongs
Invoke thine all-inspiring aid;
While, to thy worth for ever true,
He fings eternally of you.
Propitious with thy fmiling ray

illume the darkness of my mind,
That I may view the blissful way

That leads to prospects unconfin'd,

Where

Where endless glories fweetly rise,
To crown, bleft Nymph! thy votaries.
O! for thy prefence to inspire

Me with fome more than mortal heat, More fervid than rapt poet's fire

When they fome fav'rite theme repeat; For oh! if haply bleft with thee, Immortal would my transport be. Not all the world's feducive art

Would devious then my youth mislead, For thou fhould'ft cling around my heart, And bless me in the rural fhade; Where inly rapt through life I'd fing What joys from thee, O Virtue! fpring. Effex, Harged.
