TILE SENSITIVE PLAN I' AND THE ROSE-BUD.

Young CPI. 13"2!% fair, and her ripening charms,
All the fwair.s in thecilb,t confi
The pi: of her m.ultut was mixt with alarms,
And her fears the thus gertly carat

This SeP6tiv.• ?Lint, my iicar CLLIA, hw,k here
I linV it nod thritiks from the touch:

"The rcferve of A maid (tmid he fuch."

What Nature has taught to Otis delicate flow'r
Let a Mother's fond counfels impart:
Whtm the slo,pherdi approach my dear CtLIA'S bow r,
Let my Sluplierdefi look to her heart.
The breath of a lover is full of deceit,
And oft I,:ights the fair hloSoms of youth;
Tho' ardent hi; VOlll4 and his flattery tweet,
You will rarely God merit or truth.
But chiefly avoid the licentious hand,
That would boldly your beauties invade,
Tli' iotruder repel, or you'll loon underhand
All the griefs of a maiden bctray'd.
Advis'd by her mother, fair CICLIA refolVd,
Lit.: a Se7i7tilfr the would prove:

lie ?relented a rote-bud, whore opening bloom
Might the bofom of beauty adorn;
And wilich, ::sit bluiletl, fcatter'd fragrant perfume,
Adding (sweets to the breath of the morn.
HI: Vol her obrente, when contr.,fted its leaves,
Its full beauties it cannot difebsfe;
But wh, n it the breath of young zephyrreceivest
Soon the rote-Dud expands to a rote.

0, thou fair .11 of flnw'rs, dear CILIA, be cries,
Your chart,- beauties are Rill in the bud;
The hand of a lover, his lips and his eyes,

Thtn grant me, thou heavenly maid, a fweet kilt,
And '6.itlaifs cold reface and alarms;
May this he the prelude to rapture and blifs,
When my Shepiterdcfs yields me her charms.
Fair CELIA approv'd o' the moral the heard,
And the truths which the Bowers difelok
Her judgment improv'd, the no longer preferr'd
Ile coy& litive Plant to the Rnfe.
Her mother, in vain, her kind leans renews,
In vain, ev'ry argument tries;
*Fair CILIA no longer her eounfeh purfues,
But, determin'd and firm, thus replies:
Dear mother, at length, I mutt tell you my mind,
'Tis my Bed relolution to prove
A Soyitive Plait to the reft of mankind,
But a Rjr to the Shepherd I love!
