POEMS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. WRITTEN by a Young LADY.
LONDON: Printed for, and Sold by S. PATERSON, at Shakespear's Head, opposite Durham-Yard, in the Strand. MDCCXLVII.
TO The RIGHT HONOURABLE the Lady ISSABELLA FINCH, First Lady of the Bed-Chamber to their ROYAL HIGHNESSES the PRINCESSES.
THAT I presume to lay the following Trifles at your Ladyship's Feet, is not so much the Ambition of having a Patroness distinguish'd for so many shining Qualities as your Ladyship, as to have an Opportunity of acknowledging the Obligations you have conferr'd on me. — Yet, Madam, am I truly sensible of the extreme[Page] Honour your Protection will afford me, since your Approbation is sufficient to stamp a Value upon my other-ways trifling Performances. Your Ladyship's early Favour and Indulgence, as it was sufficient to satisfy the most boundless Vanity, gives you the strongest Claim to my perpetual Gratitude. Suffer me then, Madam, thus publickly to own your Ladyship's Goodness, and to profess myself with the greatest Respect,
ERRATA.
