F e'er I quit the finale lire,
Be this the msdel of my wife.
A Beauty—without art—complete-^
^Vliofrom he; toilet finiply itcat j
The golden tiffue c.in dLfpife,
And wears no brilliants—but her eyei.
Soft-blended, in her eyes (huuld meet
Defiling love and fparkling wii {
And, in her dimpled fmiles be fecn,
A modeft, with a cheerful mein.
As piufe. find in mufic place,
Her fpeech let proper filence grace.
Her cunverfation ever free
From cenfure, as from levity,
And undilTcmbled innocence.
Not apt to give, or take offence ;
Nor fond of compliments, nor rude}
Not a Coquette, nor yet a Piude,
Ave:fe to wanton ferenadcs.
Nor pleat'd with midnight malqueradet |
The virtues which her f.x adorn.
By honor guarded-not by fcorn.
Not fuperfiitiout, nor profane ]
But, in religion, greatly plain.
Tofuch a Virgin—fuch a Wife,
I'd give my love—Td give my life.
