Poesy

To Harriet

Harriet! to see such Circumspection,In Ladies I have no objectionConcerning what they read;An ancient Maid's a sage adviser,Like her, you will be much the wiser,In word, as well as Deed.

But Harriet, I don't wish to flatter,And really think 't would make the matterMore perfect if not quite,If other Ladies when they preach,Would certain Damsels also teachMore cautiously to write.
