<? WEET ionocmce, and artless truth,
Adorn’d Clarita’s early youth ;
Mild, modcQ. uo'ff&ed, free,
Her nature was Giupiicity.
She was not ail that poets feigo,
Or pillar'd go< dels attain ;
Yet had .be meek ey’d damsel join’d
A pleating form and virtuous mind.
In ai* her dreis cxa&iy neat,
Where youth fa I mudci and pl&inefs meet >
StQ ,iou> t’ imp ovc her fleeting day,
Still diligent, alert, and gay.
Such was the fuber country maid,
Whom eullom late to tow* convey’d.
Mut, oh ! how fad a change enfu’d !
With deep 'regret her lofr we view’d.
Her gentle manners now give place
To forward airs, and borrow’d grace ;
Pert looks and Hudted notioas rife,
With coquetry and eoy disguise.
Her lipa, which late bespoke her heart, f
Now poor impcrtineoce and art :
Her eyas, which beam’d good nature’s fay,
A thousand foolifo thoughts betray :
Her time now loft in naw affairs,
Id idle gaping and airs.
Her vain attire (hould seem dcGgo’d
The mirrour of her vainer mind :
The decent veil is thrown slide,
T’ expose her bo font’s rifiog pride.
The Ethions now engraft her care,
Dirt, gewgaws, lace, and broider'd bair 5
And dancing turns to night the day,
To plcafe the vain, and court the gay.
Q Clara / Clara / whence the taufe
Of Nature’s violated laws!
Can affiliation, pride, and art,
Be lovelier than an hooeft heart ?
Why all this foolilh idle toil.
Once.charming Clarioa to spoil ?
Knew that thy honourable name
la blasted by the breath of Fame ;
And all that now thy hopes employ
Most (boo thy hearts repose destroy.
Know, Clarioa, it was thy mind
' Firt gain’d thee friends to firm and kind j
Bat naw our friendlhip bid adieu,
For aft we lov’d is loft by you.
