Inscribed On A Work Of Hannah Mores
inscribed on a work of hannah more's presented to the author by a lady. thou flatt'ring mark of friendship kind, still may thy pages call to mind the dear, the beauteous donor; tho' sweetly female ev'ry part, yet such a head, and more the heart does both the sexes honour: she show'd her taste refin'd and just, when she selected thee; yet deviating, own i must, for sae approving me: but kind still i'll mind still the giver in the gift; i'll bless her, an' wiss her a friend aboon the lift.
