In ftrains of rapture, breathing verfe.

Each look, each foul transporting finile,
Quick to the ready canvafs give,
And bid them .h-re forever live.

Then I'd difplay her po!iili d brow,
Far whittier than the mountain fnow,
Her blufl,ing cheeks, her beauteous eyes,
Brighter than heav'n's cerulean dyes

More charms than Venus e'er could ihow,
Should on the living eanvaGs glow
There by lovers hand portrayal
In colors never doom'd TO fade.
