TO THE LADIES OF MARYLAND.
Would you, my fair, triumphant lead along
Of fighting, passive slaves, a shining throng?
Say, would you learn the happy pleasing art
To charm, and to secure the captive heart?
The Muse thro' all her various Maze pursue?
Her theme is beauty, and she sings to you.
. . . [22 more lines]
Mix'd with the social choir, the dance now grace;
And artful moving swim the mystic Maze:
Or with the full join'd concert tuneful sing,
Or wake, with skillful touch, the speaking string.
. . . [12 more lines]
[signed] Your very humble servant and admirer, Juba.
