Poetical Works of Johnson, Parnell, Gray and Smollett

To Lady Firebrace, at Bury Assizes

At length must Suffolk beauties shine in vain,
  So long renown’d in B—n’s deathless strain?
  Thy charms at least, fair Firebrace! might inspire
  Some zealous bard to wake the sleeping lyre;
  For such thy beauteous mind and lovely face,
  Thou seem’st at once, bright nymph! a Muse and Grace.

Notes

¹ ‘Lady Firebrace:’ daughter of P. Bacon, Ipswich, married three times—to Philip Evers, Esq., to Sir Corbell Firebrace, and to William Campbell, uncle of the Duke of Argyle.
