TO GEORGINA,

ON HER BIRTH-DAY.

Nor Love's complaint, nor Passion's prayer,
Nor Harp that's strung with Cupid's hair
Salutes thine ear, and bids the air
Spread round thy charms and worth:
'Tis Friendship, pure, serene, and mild,
Esteem's and Admiration's child,
Whose voice now hails the morn, which smiled
On fair Georgina's birth.
