Impromptu. Addressed to Miss Verrall
MISS VERRALL.
Whilst you, dear girl, your bed resign,
To accommodate the bard;
Take in return this prayer of mine,
The offspring of regard.
May you, quite free from life's alloys,
Its greatest blessing prove;
To share your bed, and all its joys,
With one you truly love.
Such favour'd mortal, will you lift to heaven,
By giving only half of what to me you've given!
