Nathaniel Cotton


As active as the roe.	1
Fair as cygnet’s down.	2
Fancy, like a spright, Prefers the silent scenes of night.	3
Calmly retire, like evening light.	4
Serene … like envoys from the skies.	5
Care stings like pois’nous asps to fury wrought.	6
Swift as Care.	7
Truthful as the genial spring.	8
