Of eyes that loves soft lustre shed;

OF fchecks that coy with white and rcd;
or pouting lips where cupid dips
The arrows that to hearts are sped;
Yet none Of these my fancy please
Like the b0nny hands that make good bread.
Some hands have an to move the heart,
BY waking music's sweet appeal;
Some borrow dyes from perfect skies,
And, through the canvass make 40 feel;
Some make the dress fair forms cassss
To win the heart aud turn the head;
For me, more rare beyond compare
Are the bonny hands that make good bread.
