TO M Y MIRROR.
To thee, old friend, I'll dedicate a stave,
Thou moraliser wise of deep reflection,
UnIatteriog and fearless, thou dost brays
Vain man, and .hew'st him in his true
complexion.
1 look upon thy face when turb'lent ire
Sits black epos my brows, and pictured there,
I then perceive how anger doth conspire
To make deformity of what is fair.
Again I look when sentimental pangs
Of love forlorn, oppress my heart awhile,
And as i see the length my visage hangs,
lleav'n knowe, indeed, i cannot choose but
smile.
And with that smile good (tumour comes, and
joy
Lights up mine eye, and polishes my brow :
"Now this is well," thou plainly ssy'lt, "my
boy,
I swear, in faith, thou'rt even baodsome
now :'
And when old Time, with rude unsparing head,
Ploughs hu deep furrows where all now u
smooth,
Thou wilt not flatter with deeeivioga bland,
But ho•ntty declare th' unwelcome troth.
Yes, thou wilt tell me that lire's winters come
To silver o'er my heir, end dim mine ere,
That soon Death's fatal shaft will strike me
dumb,
And that 'tis time to lift my thought' on high.
