ÆSTHETIC PAPERS.
EDITED BY
ELIZABETH P. PEABODY.
"Beautie is not as fond men misdeeme,
An outward show of things that only seeme.
••••••••Vouchsafe, then, O Thou most Almightie Spright!
From whom all gifts of wit and knowledge flow,
To shed into my breast some sparkling light
Of thine Eternall Truth, that I may show
Some little beames to mortall eyes below
Of that immortall Beautie, there with Thee,
Which in my weake distraughted mynd I see."
