ODES.

O'er her features let it pass
Like the breez o'er springing grass, 16
Gentle as refreshing showers
Sprinkled over opening flowers.
O, let years alone diminish
Beauties thou wast pleas'd to finish. 20

Beauties thou wast pleas'd to finish. 20
To the pious parents give
That the darling fair may live:
Turn to blessings all their care,
Save their fondness from despair. 24
Mitigate the lurking pains
Lodg'd within her tender veins;
Soften every throb of anguish,
Suffer not her strength to languish; 28
Take her to thy careful keeping,
And prevent the mother's weeping.
