Tho...
Page 150 - What beauties does Flora disclose! How sweet are her smiles upon Tweed! # Yet Mary's, still sweeter than those, Both nature and fancy exceed. No daisy, nor sweet blushing rose, Not all the gay flowers of the field, Not Tweed, gliding gently through those, Such beauty and pleasure does yield.
