On Lady Catherine & Augusta Murray looking out of the Window at
---------
As the warm Sun absorbs his languid rays Beneath some cloud to cause a brighter blaze So you fair Murrays from the town retire To spread with beauty's smiles the fatal fire, Striking admiring mortals as they stray Who at your window faithful homage pay. - But ah! - neglected we adore in vain And sigh for beauty which we can't obtain. -- Objects so fair have dignity & charms To grace a Monarch or a Prince's arms. - For pity's sake sweet Angels keep confin'd Nor discompose the bosom's of Mankind. -- Beauties so exquisite, so form'd to please With so much sweetness, elegance & ease That raptur'd mortals can't exist secure But fall beneath the radiance of your pow'r.
