Title: The Humming Birds
Description: > Minutest of the feathered kind,
> Possessing every charm combin'd,
> Nature, in forming thee, design'd
> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That though shouldst be

> A proof within how little space
> She can comprise such perfect grace,
> Rendering thy lovely fairy race
> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Beauty's epitome.

> Thou burnished colors to bestow,
> Her pencil in the heavenly bow
> She dipp'd, and made thy plumes to glow
> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With every hue.
