both on me your influence shed, Dwell in my heart and deck my head ! Where'er a broader, browner shade The shaggy beaver throws, And with the ample feather's aid O'er canopies the nose ; Where'er ^vith smooth and silken pile, Ling'ring in solemn pause awhile. The crimson velvet glows ; From some high benches giddy brink, Clinton with me begins to think (As bolt upright we sit) That dress, like dogs, should have its day, That beavers are too hot for May, And velvets quite unfit. Then taste, in m...axims sweet, I draw From her unerring lip ; How light, how simple are the straw, How deUcate the chip ! Hush'd is the speaker's powerful voice, The audience melt away, /^ FANSHAWE'S POEMS. 47 I fly to fix my final choice And bless th' instructive day. The milliner officious pours Of hats and caps her ready stores, The unbought elegance of spring ; Some wide, disclose the full round face, Some shadowy, lend a modest grace And stretch their sheltering wing. Here clustering grapes appear to shed Their luscious juices on the head, And cheat the longing eye ; So round the Phrygian monarch hung Fair fruits, that from his parched tongue For ever seem'd to fly.
