Stanzas to Miss Wylie + 

O come, Georgiana! the rose is full blown, + 

The riches of Flora are lavishly strown, + 

The air is all softness, and crystal the streams; + 

The West is resplendently clothed in beams. + 

O come! let us haste to the freshening shades, + 

The quaintly carv’d seats, and the opening glades; + 

Where the faeries are chanting their evening hymns, + 

And the last sun-beam the sylph lightly swims. + 

And when thou art weary, I’ll find thee a bed + 

Of mosses and flowers to pillow thy head: + 

And there Georgiana I’ll sit at thy feet, + 

While my story of love I enraptur’d repeat. + 

So fondly I’ll breathe, and so softly I’ll sigh, + 

Thou wilt think that some amorous zephyr is nigh; + 

Yet no⁠—as I breathe I will press thy fair knee, + 

And then thou wilt know that the sigh comes from me. + 

Ah! why, dearest girl, should we lose all these blisses? + 

That mortal’s a fool who such happiness misses: + 

So smile acquiescence, and give me thy hand, + 

With love-looking eyes, and with voice sweetly bland. + 
