Upon seeing Miss READ, at Bath , in the Character of R OSALIND , in As you like it.

If Elegance and sprightly Ease
Are Requisites to charm and please,
R EAD must attract our first Esteem,
In Rosalind , observe her Mein; —
The very Cuckoo's Note I hear,
To married Dupes a Word of Fear,
How galling to the Hen-peck'd Ear!
In ev'ry Sentence, ev'ry Deed,
How charming is this Ganymede !
Envy must own thy wond'rous Merit,
And grow enamour'd with such Spirit.
