Miss Fenton.
J. Ellys, pinx, J. Faber fecit. Printed for John Bowles at No 13 in Cornhill, 1728
While Crowds attentive sit to Polly's voice,
And in their native Harmony rejoice;
Th'admiring Throng no vain subscription draws,
Nor Affectation prompts a false Applause.
Nature Untaught each pleasing Strain supplies,
Artless as her unbidden Blushes rise--
And Charming as the Mischief in her Eyes.
