ACROSTIC. -HENRIETTA.
How well the, vo3i's hue befits her check, Effulgent, glowing like a coral tide. Not suavest tongue nor lyrists nxiiil may speak, HoniHiilic thpugh her limner, hugo his pride. Invoke ho ov/ry aid^bbat art may seek,— Evince he skill, and cave; and tact, beside,— Too late h.c finds the gorgeous tinting weak ; Tiie picture place by blushing Hcttie's side, And Art, good lord, goes fair distraught with pique ! Belike, sortie colorist, more fam than wise, Upon the canvas copies Hetties eyes, Reflexmg jtist a tithe or so of son], Though fancy deems she steals the pleasing whole Oh, baffled daubers, can ye do no bettor? No artist, then, may transfer Henrietta!
