STELLA
and
Flavia
every
hour
Do
various
hearts
surprize
;
In
Stella's
soul
lies
all
her
power
,
And
Flavia's
in
her
eyes
.
More
boundless
Flavia's
conquests
are
,
And
Stella's
more
confin'd
;
All
can
discern
a
face
that's
fair
,
But
few
a
lovely
mind
.
Stella
,
like
Britain's
monarchs
,
reigns
O'er
cultivated
lands
;
Like
eastern
tyrants
Flavia
deigns
To
rule
o'er
barren
sands
.
Then
boast
not
,
Flavia
,
thy
fair
face
,
Thy
beauty's
only
store
;
Thy
charms
will
every
day
decrease
,
Each
day
gives
Stella
more
.
