NHG-P.768.012
12 Feb 1768:32 (592)
From the St. James's Chronicle.
WRITTEN BY A GENTLEMAN IN CORKE, ON SEEING A LADY HE ADMIRED
FROM AN OPPOSITE WINDOW.
Whilst on forbidden fruit I gaze,
And look my heart away,
Behold my Star of Venus rise, 
And blaze upon the day!
Fair as the purple blushing hours,
That paint the morning's eye;
Or cheek of evening after showers,
That flush the western sky.
. . . [8 more lines, signed] W. W.
