TO FLORELLA, PUTTING ON A FLOWERED HAT,

BY THE SAME.
1 FLORELLA, veil those radiant eyes,
2 Those lovely seatures hide;
3 For which a thousand nymphs have wish'd,
4 A thousand swains have sigh'd.
5 Then might each youth more sasely view
6 The gay, the blooming maid;
7 While half those graces lie conceal'd
8 Beneath that flowery shade.
9 Thus when the bright, meridian sun
10 His vivid warmth displays,
11 We thank the kind officious cloud
12 That shades the dazzling rays.
