On the Portrait of a Beautiful and Accomplished Woman by the First Painter of His Age

ON THE Portrait OF A BEAUTIFUL AND ACCOMPLISHED W OMAN BY THE FIRST Painter of his A GE .

H ERE confess'd is Beauty's Queen,
Though her living bloom's unseen: —
Here the wit that is not heard,
Still is relish'd and preferr'd: —
Here, from Envy's pique enrag'd,
Worth is ever disengag'd: —
Ye that Stella never knew,
Her immortal spirit view!
