t ?Shes lovely as the opning rose,Her ©yes the diamonds light disclose,With lips of ruby, teeth of pearl,And locks of hyacinthine curl;Her figure tall, and strait, and free,Her air all grace and symmetry.Her mental beauty to declare,—Comparison is wanted there. Now, whether this be like or no,We will not here pretend to know,But, your hearts mirror shews her so. 32% TOILET. This Toilet furnishd by the graces,Can give new charms to fairest faces ;The rouge that with increasing glowBids beautys- freshest roses blow,With modestys bright blushes fraught,Of health and cheerfulness is bought;No wash those gentle bosoms craveThat purity and meekness lave;And radiant candour here suppliesUnfading lustre to the eyes^The ribbands placed for your selectionAre woven bands of tried affection ;In folds that symmetry disclose,The robe of polishd manners flows,With sparkling gems to grace the dressOf wit and modest playfulness;Now to truths mirror turn, my fair,And view your own resemblance there.

883 THE KNIGHTS OF CONSTANCY. When Conrad with successful powers Subdud Duke Guelph, in Weinsbergs-towers, The Duchess and her Ladies there, To the stern warrior urgd a prayer That each, since not allowd to tarry, Might take what treasure she could carry. Tis granted, Conrad opes the gate, And troops and guards of honor wait. See, see ! each noble Dame appearing, Her Lord upon her shoulders bearing. Movd such heroic faith to see, The conqueror haild each warrior free, And namd them Knights of Constancy, May you, Sir, blest in wedded love Such order grace, such treasure prove. FINIS. J.
