Rhyme Scheme: A AABCDEFFGGHHIIJK

Sent from ItalyA

-
But happy you from the contagion freeA
Who through her veil can human nature seeA
Calm you reflect amid the frantic sceneB
On the low views of those mistaken menC
Who lose the short invaluable hourD
Through dirt pursuing schemes of distant pow'rE
Whose best enjoyments never pay the chaseF
But melt like snow within a warm embraceF
Believe me friend for such indeed are youG
Dear to my heart and to my int'rest trueG
Too much already have you thrown awayH
Too long sustain'd the labor of the dayH
Enjoy the remnant of declining lightI
Nor wait for rest till overwhelm'd in nightI
By present pleasure balance pain you've pastJ
Forget all systems and indulge your tasteK

Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
