TO MISS C—KE . 1768. TO sing of Clarke my Muse aspires , A theme by charms made quite divine ; Ye tuneful Virgins sound your lyres , Apollo aid the feeble line ; If Truth and Virtue , Wit , and Charms , May for a fix'd attention call : The darts of Love and wounding arms The beauteous Clarke shall hold o'er all . 'Tis not the tincture of a skin , The rosy lip , the charming eye . No 'tis a greater Power within , That bids the passion never die : These Clarke possesses , and much more , All beauty in her glances sport , She is the Goddess all adore , In Country , City , and at Court .
