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.
