A FRAGMENT, from the Italian; Addressed to a young Lady, at Florence, who did not understand English. WHEN, in your language, I, unskill'd, address The short-pac'd efforts of a trammel'd Muse; Soft Italy's fair critics round Me press, And my mistaking paffion thus accuse. Why, to our tongue's difgrace, does thy dumb love Then laughing they repeat my languid lays Nymphs of thy native clime, perhaps they cry, Do thou, my foul's foft hope, these triflers awe!
