Accept these sheets with roses grac'd
And borders form'd with grecian taste,
Too classic far for thee to scorn 'em
But truth Maria, bids me say
Whatever charms they now display
Thy hand with greater will adorn 'em—
Nay, plainest of the plain might be
The page that is thy thoughts' recorder,
For who that boasts a note from thee
Would maste one look upon its border.
