On her Apron embroider'd with Arms and Flowers.

The list'ning Trees Amphion drew
To dance from Hills, where once they grew;
But you express a Pow'r more great,
The Flow'rs you draw not, but create.

And smile beneath your radiant Eyes!
'Tis beauteous all! and yet receives
From you more Graces than it gives.
