On thy sweet ihnocence with tratifport

And well they thought their tender care re

To hear the artless music of thy tongue.
When dawnin ’ reason died her ray benign,
And all they excellence became reveal’d,
How did they fee thy opting virtue ihine,
And hear thy praifc with raptures ill con

For who, alas 1 can tell thy secret worth ?
What foft angelic virtues might appear
That bosom, laid defencelcfs on the earth,
