Classic Poem

" This Ring, this little Ring, " as spoke by Wells,
Brings Siddons' voice and manner so to view,
That e'en the copiest many a bosom swells,
With grief as potent, and as real too.

Exquisite charmer! Sorceress of delight!
Unrivall'd Wells assert thy magic force;
Go on, and please the wond'ring throngs each night,
And draw down plaudits from their secret source!

Surprise the town with Imitations new,
Such as they never heard, or saw before;
And e'en thy foes , if such there be, subdue,
And make them own thy merit evermore!
