Explore "Epigram on Seeing Miss Fontenelle in a Favourite Character" by Robert Burns on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Sweet naivete of feature, / Simple, wild, enchanting elf, / Not to thee, but thanks to Nature, / Thou art acting but thyself.
Wert thou awkward, stiff, affected, / Spurning Nature, torturing art; / Loves and Graces all rejected, / Then indeed thou'd'st act a part.
