ON A Negro GIRL MAKING HER COURT TO A FAIR YOUTH:
My charming youth! Why fly's thou me?
Who in loves flames consumes for thee.
I'm black, tis true, and so is night;
And love doth in the dark delight.

THE BOY'S ANSWER.
Negro, complain not, that I fly' 
When fate commands antipathy.
Prodigious might that union prove,
When day and night together move.
