Poet Analysis

First Line: BLEST PAIR! FORM'D FOR DELIGHT, AND BORN TO PLEASE
Last Line: AND FRIENDSHIP STEAL A SIGH FOR YOUR RETURN.
Blest pair! form'd for delight, and born to please,
Whose looks are gladness, and whose manners ease,
In each gay trifle skill'd, and happy art
To raise the fancy, and to sooth the heart;
O yet belov'd! Farewel, tho Wisdom frown,
Tho Prudence blush the careless hours to own,
Yet shall indulgent Pity softly mourn,
And Friendship steal a sigh for your return.
