BY THE SAME.
WHAT Friendship gives, sweet girl, approve, They well deserve, who well design; Then may this trifle speak his love, Whose constant heart has long been thine.
Oft may each toy by you employ'd, Revive his image in your heart — Or if the tender pen you guide, Or shape the lawn with nicest art;
Or of its rough coat strip the pear, Or pick your teeth, or sip your tea; Whate'er you do, where'er you are, Think, dear Maria, think on me.
