Meet and convenient-pleasure, if thou wilt- MISCELLANIES. TO A SISTER. WHEN kind Cecilia welcom'd to her breast The finch the schoolboy pilfer'd from its nest; But still to her and to his cage return'd. Nor went she forth to saunter in the grove, But still he came, and perch'd upon her glove, So, dear Eliza, tho' I make thee free, So thou rejoice, to spend my days alone, Thy cage deserted and thy song no more. Sweet bird thy mate invites thee to the wood; Go, and be happy as thy heart is good. |
