TO MADAME DE DAMAS LEARNING ENGLISH by HORACE (HORATIO) WALPOLE

First Line: THOUGH BRITISH ACCENTS YOUR ATTENTION FIRE
Last Line: FOR WHO WOULD TEACH YOU BUT THE VERB 'I LOVE'?
Subject(s): ENGLISH LANGUAGE; LOVE;
THOUGH British accents your attention fire,
You cannot learn so fast as we admire.
Scholars like you can slowly but improve,
For who would teach you but the verb 'I love'?
