From air too gross had Guild a purer part,

These watch'd the spinster-sprite, the softest

And loos'd from odours mingling as they rose.
Then, to due levity to purge the mass,
Thro' Woman's gentle lips she babe it pass
In tender oaths,-such oaths, from morn to eve,
AS pious virgins swear, and youths believe,
OF endless love, in endless pledges told,
As If the last were felt too frail to hold.
And parting anguish, of as constant pain,
Which nought can solace, but another SWAIN
Her monetary soul as breath'd the fair,
Still light and lighter grew the glowing air
Till, by soft lips with softest pressure wrought,
The very accents scarce out.wegh'd the thought,
Thus fitted to her faucy's sportful doom,
She gave the well-breath'd lghtness to the loom.
Each fibre was some passions tender proof,
And VOWS, and transports, liv'd along the wool.
With sunny rays inwove, not such as fall,
One msssy splendour, from the central ball,
But tints that with divided lustre glow,
Half bright, half humid, from the watery bow,
Gay gleam'd the web, with emblems meet de.
