TO A ROSE. By Samuel Low.

FAIR, blushing, half expanded Rose, What other flower can with thee vie ?

Whole vivio tinis more charms disclose, Than Iris' bow, or Tyrian dye. Sweet scented, fragrance breathing rose, Not eastern gales such odous bear; Not all the tribes which Flora knows Can with thy rich perfume compare. Oh! yes—a flower as fair and sweet Hath often fix'd imy raptured gaze : In NANVCY all thy beauties meet; Yes, NANCY; all thy charms display;
