She's blufhing like the morning ;
The rofy dawn the fpringing grafs,
With pearly gems adorning,
Her eyes outfhine the radiant beams,
That gild the pafBng (bower,
^nd glitter on the cryixal fireams,
And chear each freuVning flower.
Her lips more than ,the cherry's bright,
A richer die has grae'd them ;
They charm th' admiring gazer's fight a
^ Ar.d fweedy tempt to tafte them.
Her fmiles are like the ev'ning mild,
When featber'd pairs are courting,
-And little lambkins wanton wild,
In playful bands difpordng.
Were fortune lovely Peggy's foe,
Mich fweetnefs would relent her 5
dooming fpring unbends the brow
Of favage^ furly win ter.
