NElage Charming, kind, and Fair, With her no Nymph could yet compare, Beauteous, witty, frank and free, And so for ever may she be: beauteous, Witty, Frank and free, and so for ever may she be. Though in an humble Cottage bred, A while a private Life she lead, Yet Love with all his potent fires, Her eyes had arm'd to raise desires; yet Love with all his potent fires, her eyes had arm'd to raise desires.
The wandring Shepherds all did gaze, And much her infant Beauty praise; Each strove a happiness to gain, And Sigh'd as if he was in pain: each strove a happiness to gain, and sigh'd as if he was in pain. But none could cast so fair a Lost, Fortune for her had larger thought, And lent her her kind hand to rise, Where she might Dazle mortal Eyes; and lent her her kind hand to rise, where she might dazle mortal eyes,
Whilst Beauty and good wit conspir'd, To give her all that she desir'd; Yet in her Sphere she not disdains To Smile upon the humble Swains. yet in her Sphere she not disdains to Smile upon the humble Swains. Op'ning her hand to give them store, Whom she is conscious are but poor; And chiefly those whom debt makes moan, Within the Rigid Walls of Stone: and chiefly those, etc. With pittying eyes she oft surveys, Their during Holds, and often pays The ransome of some Captive Swain, And sends him to his Flocks again. the Ransome, etc. Those Poor ones too, that often wait, Seldome go empty from her Gate; Thus Beauty, Charity, and Wit Triumphant in one Creature Sit. thus beauty, Charity, and Wit, Triumphant, etc.
Thus she disdains not to be free, Remembering how that lately she With harmless mirth rejoyc'd the Swains And took delight to tread the Plains. with harmless mirth rejoyc'd the Swains, and took Delight to tread the Plains. Which cause the Shepherds oft to Sing, Whilst all the Neighbouring Valleys ring. And Tune their Pipes unto her praise, With gentle yet with charming Lays. and Tune their pipes, etc. Thus Beauty and good humour met, And hand in hand they Travel yet; Compassions Beaming from her Eyes, And Bounty in her Bosome lies.
