THE
NATURAL
BEAUTY
.
TO
STELLA
.
BY
THE
SAME
.
WHETHER
STELLA's
eyes
are
found
Fix'd
on
earth
,
or
glancing
round
,
If
her
face
with
pleasure
glow
,
If
she
sigh
at
others
woe
,
If
her
easy
air
express
Conscious
worth
,
or
soft
distress
,
STELLA's
eyes
,
and
air
,
and
face
,
Charm
with
undiminish'd
grace
.
If
on
her
we
see
display'd
Pendant
gems
,
and
rich
brocade
;
If
her
chintz
,
with
less
expence
,
Flows
in
easy
negligence
;
Still
she
lights
the
conscious
flame
,
Still
her
charms
appear
the
same
;
If
she
strikes
the
vocal
strings
,
If
she's
silent
,
speaks
,
or
sings
,
If
she
sit
,
or
if
she
move
,
Still
we
love
,
and
still
approve
.
Vain
the
casual
,
transient
glance
,
Which
alone
can
please
by
chance
;
Beauty
,
which
depends
on
art
,
Changing
with
the
changing
heart
,
Which
demands
the
toilet's
aid
,
Pendant
gems
,
and
rich
brocade
;
I
those
charms
alone
can
prize
,
Which
from
constant
Nature
rise
,
Which
nor
circumstance
nor
dress
E'er
can
make
or
more
or
less
.
