Inscription to Miss Catherine Wingfield
From Poetical Works, ed. Walter Scott (1810), vol. III
Relationships
O may this silken prison long contain
Love’s tender vows, and Friendship’s cordial strain!
Yet ne’er for thee, may sorrow’s darken’d hours
Require, lov’d maid, their sympathetic powers;
Still may indulgent Heaven, with guardian care,
Ordain thee happy, as it form’d thee fair!
