First Line: Margaret's beauteous - grecian arts
Last Line: Dora to her poet.
Subject(s): Beauty; Social Classe


MARGARET'S beauteous. Grecian arts
Ne'er drew form completer;
Yet why, in my heart of hearts,
Hold I Dora's sweeter?

Dora's eyes of heavenly blue
Pass all painting's reach;
Ringdoves' notes are discord to
The music of her speech.

Artists! Margaret's smile receive,
And on canvas show it;
But for perfect worship leave
Dora to her poet.
