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.
