THE RHYMsTERs FoREsTALLEp.

Ifyou would make q lymph your prize,
What better than monopolize
Rhymes to be writ upon her eyes
That done, not all beneath her bonnet
Can have, In lyric or in sonnet,
One word you have not said upon 1t.
Whether with damsel or with dame,
Tis certainly the surest game ~.
To serve her in poetic fame.
No matter what her charming case is,
TITS rhyme must show fair ones praises.
In their most captivating phases.
Besides, to prove yourself entrapt sure,
And how complete has been your capture,
There's nothing like poetic rapture.
Since Love began, and radiant eyes
Kindled the flame that never dies,
Beauty and verse have been allies.
And, well considered, what but this
Can celebrate her not amiss,
Or tell the bright thing what she is?
Accordingly, from the ascension =z".0=e
OF the first vow, historians mention
Poesy as loves own invention
Aspeech olympian of the Gods,
AS lar beyond all human odds
As is the tongue to wiuks and mods.
It's scarce respectful to suppose
Ihat'Beaaty, if her worth she knows,
M1ll let herself be won in prose
Then be, as l have said, in time
Exhaust the cherished name in chime:
Rivals are nothing without rhyme.
