''On seeing Miss G-----ng with a nosegay in her breast'' Delightful scene, in which appear At once all the beauties of the year' See how the zephyrs her breath Fan gently the flow'r beneath. See the gay flow'rs, how bright they glow Tho' planted in a bed of snow; Yet see how soon they fade and die, Scorch'd with the sunshine of her eye; No wonder if, o'ercome with bliss, They droop their heads to steal a kiss. Who would not die on that dear breast? Who would not die to be so blest?
