Still Innocence and Virtue lead the round, With Mirth and Pleasure all our days are crown'd. And O! if Heaven will hear my ardent prayer, And grant a wish, which from my bosom ne'er Shall be remov'd-long may these shades obey The mild commands of her, whose name adorns this lay! ΤΟ Α LADY, WITH A PRESENT OF POPE's WORKS. BY THE HON. CHARLES YORKE. THE lover oft, to please some faithless dame, Ne'er with Belinda's charms his song had glow'd, ΤΟ A LADY, SENT HER WITH LORD LANSDOWNE's HEROIC LOVE. THE noble Granville here has nicely shown Heroic Love, a copy of his own; No flight of fancy, but his heart indites These moving scenes; and what he feels, he writes. Well had it been for Priam and his race, Had Fate set me in Agamemnon's place, And you Chryseis: glory should have strove But faintly then against the force of Love. |
