I Ctovd a while, and did admire,
To tee a Nymph Co Jtatelv;
So brilk ah uLir there did appear,
In a Conning 3Iaid Co neatly;
S-uch natural Siveetnep the difplayd,
Like a Lilly in a Bonus
Diana's Jelf mas ne'er arrayed.
Like this fame Katharine Ogie .

Thou Flower of Femals, Beauty's Queen,
Who fees thee fiirc mult prir^e thee;
Tho' thou art drcCb hi -Robes hut mean.
Yet theje cannot dijquifc thee;
Thy handCome Air^ andqracefu.IL Look
Far excells any clownipi Regie;
Thou art a JSIatchfor Lord or Duke,
M.y c^araiTw Katharine O^ie.
O were I but Jo me Shepherd Cmain,
To^feed my Flock beCide thee,
At Bughtina-time to leave the Plain,
In milking, to abide thee,
Id think my Celf a hapier JKan,
With Kate, my Club, and Doqie,
Than he that hugs his thousands ten,
Had I but Katharine O^ie .
Then I'd diCpiCe the. Imperial Throne,
AndStateJhiens dangerous Stations;
Id be no Kina,Id wear no Crown,
Id'pnile at conquering, Nations;
Might I carrel's, and CtilL pofseCs;
This Lafs of whom I'm vogie;
For iheCc are Toys, andfiill look lets, "
Compar'd with Katharine Ocie.
But I fear the Gods have not decreed,
For me Jb^fine a Creature,
Whole Beauty rare makes her exceed,
All other Works in Nature.
Clouds erfUeppairpirround my Lovey
That are both dark and foaic,
Pitv my Cafe ye Powers above,
Elfe I dicjfor Katharine Ojpjie •
