Excerpt from The Works of the English Poets, Vol. 58: With Prefaces, Biographical and Critical Here make thy court amidl't our rural fcene, And {hepherd girls {hall own thee for their queen. With thee be Chafiity, of all afraid, Dil'truiiing all, a wife fufpicious maid But man the molt-not more the mountain doe Holds the fwift faulcon for her deadly foe. Cold is her breafi, like flowers that drink the dew, A hlk'en veil conceals her from the view. No wild defires amidi'c thy train be known, But Faith, whofe heart is fix'd on one alone Defponding Meeknefs with her downcafi eyes, And friendly Pity, full Of tender fighs And Love the lafi by thefe your hearts approve, Thefe are the virtues that muft lead to love.
