Accept, loved Nymph, this tribute due <br />To tender friendship, love, and you: <br />But with it take what breathed the whole. <br />O take to thine the poet's soul. <br />If Fancy here her power displays, <br />And if a heart exalts these lays- <br />You, fairest, in that fancy shine, <br />And all that heart is fondly thine.<br /><br />James Thomson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-the-same-amanda-with-a-copy-of-the-seasons/
