And dwells there in a female heart	A
By bounteous Heaven design'd	B
The choicest raptures to impart	A
To feel the most refined	B
	-
	-
Dwells there a wish in such a breast	C
Its nature to forego	D
To smother in ignoble rest	C
At once both bliss and woe	D
	-
	-
Far be the thought and far the strain	E
Which breathes the low desire	F
How sweet soe'er the verse complain	E
Though Phoebus string the lyre	G
	-
	-
Come then fair maid in nature wise	H
Who knowing them can tell	I
From generous sympathy what joys	J
The glowing bosom swell	I
	-
	-
In justice to the various powers	K
Of pleasing which you share	L
Join me amid your silent hours	K
To form the better prayer	L
	-
	-
With lenient balm may Oberon hence	M
To fairy land be driven	N
With every herb that blunts the sense	M
Mankind received from heaven	N
	-
	-
Oh if my sovereign Author please	O
Far be it from my fate	P
To live unblest in torpid ease	O
And slumber on in state	P
	-
	-
Each tender tie of life defied	Q
Whence social pleasures spring	R
Unmoved with all the world beside	Q
A solitary thing	R
	-
	-
Some Alpine mountain wrapt in snow	D
Thus braves the whirling blast	S
Eternal winter doom'd to know	D
No genial spring to taste	T
	-
	-
In vain warm suns their influence shed	U
The zephyrs sport in vain	E
He rears unchanged his barren head	U
Whilst beauty decks the plain	E
	-
	-
What though in scaly armour dress'd	C
Indifference may repel	I
The shafts of woe in such a breast	C
No joy can ever dwell	I
	-
	-
'Tis woven in the world's great plan	V
And fix'd by Heaven's decree	W
That all the true delights of man	V
Should spring from sympathy	W
	-
	-
'Tis nature bids and whilst the laws	X
Of nature we retain	E
Our self approving bosom draws	X
A pleasure from its pain	E
	-
	-
Thus grief itself has comforts dear	Y
The sordid never know	D
And ecstacy attends the tear	L
When virtue bids it flow	D
	-
	-
For when it streams from that pure source	Z
No bribes the heart can win	A2
To check or alter from its course	Z
The luxury within	A2
	-
	-
Peace to the phlegm of sullen elves	B2
Who if from labour eased	C2
Extend no care beyond themselves	B2
Unpleasing and unpleased	C2
	-
	-
Let no low thought suggest the prayer	L
Oh grant kind Heaven to me	W
Long as I draw ethereal air	L
Sweet Sensibility	W
	-
	-
Where'er the heavenly nymph is seen	D2
With lustre beaming eye	E2
A train attendant on their queen	D2
Her rosy chorus fly	E2
	-
	-
The jocund loves in Hymen's band	C2
With torches ever bright	C2
And generous friendship hand in hand	C2
With pity's wat'ry sight	C2
	-
	-
The gentler virtues too are join'd	C2
In youth immortal warm	F2
The soft relations which combined	C2
Give life her every charm	G2
	-
	-
The arts come smiling in the close	H2
And lend celestial fire	F
The marble breathes the canvas glows	I2
The muses sweep the lyre	G
	-
	-
Still may my melting bosom cleave	J2
To sufferings not my own	K2
And still the sigh responsive heave	J2
Where'er is heard a groan	K2
	-
	-
So pity shall take virtue's part	C2
Her natural ally	E2
And fashioning my soften'd heart	C2
Prepare it for the sky	E2
	-
	-
This artless vow may heaven receive	J2
And you fond maid approve	L2
So may your guiding angel give	M2
Whate'er you wish or love	N2
	-
	-
So may the rosy finger'd hours	K
Lead on the various year	Y
And every joy which now is yours	O2
Extend a larger sphere	Y
	-
	-
And suns to come as round they wheel	P2
Your golden moments bless	Q2
With all a tender heart can feel	P2
Or lively fancy guess	Q2
