On the Eyes of Miss A----H----

On the Eyes of Miss A----H----[1]

Anne's Eye is liken'd to the _Sun_,

From it such Beams of Beauty fall;

And _this_ can be denied by none,

For like the _Sun_, it shines on _All_.

Then do not admiration smother,

Or say these glances don't become her;

To _you_, or _I_, or _any other_

Her _Sun_, displays perpetual Summer. [2]

January 14, 1807.

[Footnote 1: Miss Anne Houson. From an autograph MS. at Newstead,
now for the first time printed.]

[Footnote 2: Compare, for the same simile, the lines "To Edward
Noel Long, Esq.," p. 187, 'ante'.]
