A CHARACTER . Generous , and good , sincere , and void of art , Blest with a tender , yet an honest heart , Humane , and affable , to vice a foe , Neither too much the rustic , or the beau : Polite , and friendly , comely , good , and kind , Foe to deceit , to virtue most inclin'd . Fearless of danger , in a noble cause , A firm supporter of fair honor's laws , Kind heaven has given him all the charms of youth , And in his soul shines honesty , and truth , Esteem'd by many , and by most approv'd , By Delia honour'd , and by Delia lov'd .
