d To visit a poor cottage dame,One summers evening Laura came,Of viands brought a little treatAnd placed her bottle at her feet;Whilst Dash her faithful dog appearsWith anxious looks and listening ears. 192 THE ELEGANT GIRL. … Languid and pale her mother lies,She speaks not, but her speaking eyesIn language plain, express the pleasureShe feels, in having such a treasure ;A daughter, who in early days.Maternal tenderness repays. 19: 13 THE ELEGANT GIRL.
