To Madam R. P.

REason and Love, their ancient feud laid by, Equally strive to raise your power high, Beauty, Loves never failing dart in you, Exceeds all praise, and does all hearts subdue. Cupid in ev'ry careless smile is drest, Kindling a fire in the beholders breast. And Reason, if the slave don't straight submit, Proclaims your Virtue and Victorious Wit; Love give the charge, and Reason strengthens it. Alas what heart can make resistance, where Youth, Beauty, Wit and Virtue do appear?
