VOCAL ENCHANTRESS. I09
No fordid wife, or trifling joy,
Her fettled calm of mind deftroy ;
Strid honour fills her fpotlefs foul,
And adds a luftre to the whole ;
A matchlefs fhape a graceful mein,
All center in my Highland Queen.
How bled that youth, whom gentle Fate
Has deitin'd for fo fair a mate ;
Has all thefe wond'rous gifts in flore,
And each returning day brings more :
No youth fo happy can be feen,
Poffeffing thee> my Highland Queen*
