Hesper, thy aid I now implore,
Oh! give me him whom I adore,
And ease my aching breast;
I ask not gaudy glittering wealth,
Grant me but love, content, and health,
And I shall then be blest.

TO A BEAUTIFUL AND AMIABLE GIRL,ON SEEING HER VERY PLAINLY ATTIRED TOR A BALL.
Say, dost thou think, my lovely maid,
To captivate without the aid
Of glitt'ring dress, or ornament?
With looks as fair and innocent,
As the young dove, when first it tries
To plume its soft wing for the skies.
