STELLA AND FLAVIA, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Stella and flavia every hour
Last Line: Each day give stella more.
Subject(s): Women; Charm; Beauty


STELLA and Flavia every hour
Unnumbered hearts surprise:
In Stella's soul lies all her power,
And Flavia's in her eyes.

More boundless Flavia's conquests are,
And Stella's more confined:
All can discern a face that's fair,
But few a lovely mind.

Stella, like Britain's monarch, reigns
O'er cultivated lands;
Like Eastern tyrants, Flavia deigns
To rule o'er barren sands.

Then boast, fair Flavia, boast your face,
Your beauty's only store:
Your charms will every day decrease,
Each day give Stella more.
