Make the vile semblance be to Love
Just what the Monkey is to Man! "But yonder I, methinks, can trace One _very_ different from these-- Her features speak--her form is Grace Completed by the touch of Ease! "That opening lip, that fine frank eye Breathe Nature's own true gaiety-- So sweet, so rare _when thus_, that I Gaze on't with joy, nay ecstacy! "For when _'tis_ thus, you'll also see That eye still richer gifts express-- And on that lip there oft will be A sighing smile of tenderness! "Yes! here a matchless spirit dwells E'en for that lovely dwelling fit!-- I gaze on her--my bosom swells With feelings, thoughts,----oh! exquisite! "That such a being, noble, tender, So fair, so delicate, so dear, Would let one love her, and _befriend_ her!-- --Ah, yes, _my_ Chosen One is here!" _London Magazine_. |
