TO HARRIET.

Harriet! to see such Circumspection,

In Ladies I have no objection

Concerning what they read;

An ancient Maid's a sage adviser,

Like her, you will be much the wiser,

In word, as well as Deed.

But Harriet, I do n't wish to flatter,

And really think‘ t would make the matter

More perfect if not quite,

If other Ladies when they preach,

Would certain Damsels also teach

More cautiously to write.
