To Lady Firebrace, at Bury Assizes
From Poetical Works of Johnson, Parnell, Gray, and Smollett (1855)
Relationships
At length must Suffolk beauties shine in vain,
So long renown'd in B--n's deathless strain?
Thy charms at least, fair Firebrace! might inspire
Some zealous bard to wake the sleeping lyre;
For such thy beauteous mind and lovely face,
Thou seem'st at once, bright nymph! a Muse and Grace.
