Inscribed On A Work Of Hannah Mores

    inscribed on a work of hannah more's

    presented to the author by a lady.

    thou flatt'ring mark of friendship kind,

    still may thy pages call to mind

    the dear, the beauteous donor;

    tho' sweetly female ev'ry part,

    yet such a head, and more the heart

    does both the sexes honour:

    she show'd her taste refin'd and just,

    when she selected thee;

    yet deviating, own i must,

    for sae approving me:

    but kind still i'll mind still

    the giver in the gift;

    i'll bless her, an' wiss her

    a friend aboon the lift.
