Lines In Praise of Miss Isabella Johnston
IN PRAISE OF MISS ISABELLA JOHNSTON, AFTERWARDS MRS. LAWS OF SPRINGWELL, THE POET'S COUSIN .
I gave my love a chain of gold
Around her neck to bind;
She keeps me in a faster hold,
And captivates my mind.
Methinks that mine's the harder part:
Whilst, 'neath her lovely chin,
She carries links outside her heart,
My fetters are within.
I gave my love a chain of gold
Around her neck to bind;
She keeps me in a faster hold,
And captivates my mind.
Methinks that mine's the harder part:
Whilst, 'neath her lovely chin,
She carries links outside her heart,
My fetters are within.
