With Charms so numerous Myra can surprise,
The Lover knows not by which Dart he dies;
So thick the Volly, and the Wound so sure,
No Flight can save, no Remedy can cure.
Yet dawning in her Infancy of Light,
O see another Brudenel heav'nly bright,
Born to fulfill the Glories of her Line,
And fix Love's Empire in that Race divine.
Fain wou'd my Muse to Stowel bend her Sight,$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,}$
But turns astonish'd from the dazling Light,
Nor dares attempt to climb the steepy Flight.

O Kneller! like thy Pictures were my Song,
Clear like thy Paint, and like thy Pencil strong,
These matchless Beauties should recorded be
Immortal in my Verse, as in thy Gallery.^[1]
