Sweet naivetë© of feature,
Simple, wild, enchanting elf,
Not to thee, but thanks to nature,
Thou art acting but thyself.
Wert thou awkward, stiff, affected,
Spurning nature, torturing art;
Loves and graces all rejected,
Then indeed thou'dst act a part.
R. B.
On Seeing Miss Fontenelle In A Favourite Character.
Robert Burns
