WRITTEN IN THE ALBUM OF MADAME AMEDEE DE V ...
Couplet
Long may this album of a songster tell,
Whose ripened age his tender tone belies;
Who saw in thee grace, goodness, candor dwell,
And was, one moment, duped by thy bright eyes.
Through love? Ah! no — love could no more beguile;
But by thy flattering notice led astray,
He deemed that Beauty's smile
Was Glory's ray!
