To Miranda.

MEn vainly boast the pow'r that nature gave. All-conqu'ring Beauty rules the King and Slave. Read fair Miranda's charming face, and then Tell me where's the prerogative of men. Here Natures self in all her gayest dress, All her delights and power does express; And with true lustre free from fading Art, Rules ev'ry Eye, and reigns o're ev'ry heart. No formal pride her Beauty does o'reshade. O happy man, for whom this blessings made! Let her in joys for ever live, while I, Doom'd for her Victim, at Loves Altar die.
