Young Jessica sat all the day, In love-dreams languishingly pining, Like truant genius, idly shining. Jessy, 'tis in idle hearts That love and mischief are most nimble ; The safest shield against the darts Of Cupid, is Minerva's thimble. A child, who with a magnet play'd, And knew its winning ways so wily, The magnet near the needle laid, And laughing said, “ We'll steal it slily."

And repose our hearts at last; Farewell, Bessy ! |
