To Miss Jane Austen the Reputed Author of Sense and Sensibility a Novel Lately Publish'd
On such Subjects no Wonder that she shou'd write well,
In whom so united those Qualities dwell;
Where ‘dear Sensibility’, Sterne's darling Maid,
With Sense so attemper'd is finely pourtray'd.
Fair Elinor's Self in that Mind is exprest,
And the Feelings of Marianne live in that Breast.
Oh then, gentle Lady! continue to write,
And the Sense of your Readers t'amuse & delight.
