Verses occasioned by a young lady's singing to the spinnet.
By a young gentleman in Virginia.
  Sweetness and strength in Silvia's voice unite, 
  The God that gave it, gave it for delight:
  Orpheus, who drew, by musick, woods along, 
  Must yield to Silvia's entertaining song.
  When first I heard and listned to admire, 
  My breast soon felt a strange, unusual fire;
  Nor could I think meer sound would ever prove, 
  So fit an engine for insidious love.
