To a very young Lady
Thy Genius, Beauty, Innocence command
This humble Tribute from the Muse's Hand;
A faithful Muse, who hears with secret Joy,
Thy early Virtues ev'ry Tongue employ.
O still thy Parents godlike Steps pursue,
Still keep their mutual Excellence in View;
So shall the wond'ring World with Transport see
All Virtue, all Perfection live in thee.
