Poems on
Swift as the short-liv'd Flow'r they fly,
At Morn they bloom, at Evening die:
Tho' Sickness yet a while forbears,
Yet Time destroys, what Sickness spares;
Now Helen lives alone in Fame,
And Cleopatra's but a Name;
Time must indent that heav'nly Brow,
And thou must be, what they are now.

And Cleopatra's but a Name;
Time must indent that heav'nly Brow,
And thou must be, what they are now.
This Moral to the Fair disclose,
Queen of Fragrance, lovely Rose.
Queen of Fragrance, lovely Rose.
