Upon Miss Arab More Desiring My Handwriting for a Book in Which She Has Collected the Handwriting of Celebrated Men
In that choice book to wits devoted,
And kept by you, my partial fair,
What, shall a name like mine be noted
Among the various worthies there?
In that rare list I claim no place,
Proud in your mind to fix my name,
While the true sons of genius grace
The memorandum book of fame.
Yet I obey, if you command,
Of Glory's page usurp a part,
For you have right to ask the hand
Who have already got the heart.
And kept by you, my partial fair,
What, shall a name like mine be noted
Among the various worthies there?
In that rare list I claim no place,
Proud in your mind to fix my name,
While the true sons of genius grace
The memorandum book of fame.
Yet I obey, if you command,
Of Glory's page usurp a part,
For you have right to ask the hand
Who have already got the heart.
