    To A Young Beauty

    DEAR fellow-artist, why so free
    With every sort of company,
    With every Jack and Jill?
    Choose your companions from the best;
    Who draws a bucket with the rest
    Soon topples down the hill.
    You may, that mirror for a school,
    Be passionate, not bountiful
    As common beauties may,
    Who were not born to keep in trim
    With old Ezekiel's cherubim
    But those of Beauvarlet.
    I know what wages beauty gives,
    How hard a life her setvant lives,
    Yet praise the winters gone:
    There is not a fool can call me friend,
    And I may dine at journey's end
    With Landor and with Donne.
