Columbine, Rev. Paul - ZaunköniG - 11.12.2018 Rev. Paul Columbine 1697/8 - 1784 TO MRS. ROBINSON: WHAT Voice, attun'd to the soft Lesbian Lute Breathes in this rugged clime such accents clear? What British SAPPHo warbles through the Year When every Grecian Grove is lorn and mute? The MUSES and the GRACES held dispute Which, at her Birth, the blooming Babe should rear: Their blended Gifts in her so bright appear, Who would not strive to press the tender suit To win the beauteous prize?—Where'er she moves, Whene'er she speaks, she fascinates each eye And winds around each heart: the tender Loves With Genius, Taste, and varied Harmony So breathe in her soft lay:-hoar Age approves; While Youth, fond Youth, dissolves in ecstasy. |
