Presented to the Author by a Lady.
Thou flatt'ring mark of friendship kind, / Still may thy pages call to mind / The dear, the beauteous donor; / Tho' sweetly female ev'ry part, / Yet such a head, and more the heart / Does both the sexes honour: / She show'd her taste refin'd and just, / When she selected thee; / Yet deviating, own I must, / For sae approving me: / But kind still I'll mind still / The giver in the gift; / I'll bless her, an' wiss her / A Friend aboon the lift.
