Upon a LADY'S EMBROIDERY.

By the Same.
1 ARACHNE once, as poets tell,
2 A goddess at her art defy'd;
3 But soon the daring mortal fell
4 The hapless victim of her pride.
5 O then beware Arachne's fate,
6 Be prudent, CHLOE, and submit;
7 For you'll more surely feel her hate,
8 Who rival both her Art and Wit.
