Whilst youth inspires, and the gay minutes fly, These solemn pages court your curious eye: Hervey, with beauteous strokes of beauteous art, Regales the fancy, whilst he warms the heart; With language elegant, and sense refin'd, At once he polishes and charms the mind; Sublime his thoughts, as his expressions strong, But smooth, as gentlest waters glide along; And true devotion glows in every line, As in thy face the dimpl'd beauties shine.
