"Prudence does o'er her wit preside; And Reason all her passions' guide. Modesty dwells upon her cheek. The Graces in her language speak. Beauty sits on her face confest. Virtue, with no ill thoughts opprest, Serenes her brow, and calms her breast." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AGAINST EXCESS OF SEA OR SUN OR REASON by WILLIAM MEREDITH PROVISION FOR THE HIGHER OZONE BODY by WILL ALEXANDER THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#65) by MARVIN BELL THE MACHINATIONS OF THE MIND by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR WHY FOOL AROUND? by STEPHEN DOBYNS POPHAM OF THE NEW SONG: 1 by NORMAN DUBIE TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
