ARPASIA.
The shape alone let others prize,
The features of the fair;
look for spirit in her eyes,
And meaning in her air.
A damask cheek, an ivory arm,
Shall meier my wishes win;
Give me an animated form
That speaks mind within.
A face where awful honor shines,
Where sense and sweetness move,
And angel innocence relines
The tenderness ofove.
These are the soul o! beauty's frame,
Without whose vital aid,
Unfinished all her features seem,
And all her roses dead.
But, uh! where both rheir charms unite,
How perfect is the view;
With every image Of delight,
With sraces ever new.
Ofpowcr TO charm the greatest woe,
The widest rage control,
Diiiusng miIdncss Ger the brow,
And rapture through the soul.
Their power but family TO express
All language must despair;
But 60, behold Arpasa's face
And read it perfect there.
