The Whispering Gallery

FAIREST Lady and Noble, for once on a time,
Condescend to accept, in the humblest of rhyme,

And a style more of Gay than of Milton,
A few opportune verses design'd to impart
Some didactical hints in a Needlework Art,

Not described by the Countess of Wilton.

An Art not unknown to the delicate hand
Of the fairest and first in this insular land,
But in Patronage Royal delighting;
And which now your own feminine fantasy wins,
Tho' it scarce seems a lady-like work that begins
In a scratching and ends in a biting!

Yet oh! that the dames of the Scandalous School
Would but use the same acid, and sharp-pointed tool,

That are plied in the said operations

Oh! would that our Candours on copper would sketch!
For the first of all things in beginning to etch

Are, good grounds for our representations.
