Lines Upon A Diamond Cross, Worn On Her Bosom By Miss C.M.

Topics: classic

Well on that neck, sweet Kitty! may you wear     The sparkling cross, with hopes to soften Heaven;     For trust me, tho' so very young and fair,     Thou hast some little sins to be forgiven: -     For all the hopes which wit and grace can spread,     For all the sighs which countless charms can move,     Fall, lovely Kitty! on thy youthful head;     Yet fall they gently - for the crime is love.
