Stella and Flavia, ev'ry Hour, <br />Unnumber'd Hearts surprize: <br />In Stella's Soul lies all her Pow'r, <br />And Flavia's, in her Eyes. <br /> <br />More boundless Flavia's Conquests are, <br />And Stella's more confin'd: <br />All can discern a Face that's fair, <br />But few a lovely Mind. <br /> <br />Stella, like Britain's Monarch, reigns <br />O'er cultivated Lands; <br />Like Eastern Tyrants, Flavia deigns <br />To rule o'er barren Sands. <br /> <br />Then boast, fair Flavia, boast your Face, <br />Your Beauty's only Store: <br />Your Charms will ev'ry Day decrease, <br />Each Day gives Stella more.<br /><br />Mary Barber<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stella-and-flavia/
