PRESENTED TO THE AUTHOR BY A LADY
Thou
flatt'ring mark of friendship kind,
Still may thy pages call to mind
The dear, the beauteous donor!
Tho sweetly female ev'ry part,
Yet such a head, and more ? the heart
Does both the sexes honor:
She show'd her taste refin'd and just,
When she selected thee,
Yet deviating, own I must,
For sae approving me:
But, kind still, I'll mind still
The giver in the gift;
I'll bless her, an wiss her
A Friend aboon the lift.
