Anne Kingsmill Finch - GlassAnne Kingsmill Finch - Glass
Work rating: Low


O Man! what Inspiration was thy Guide, Who taught thee Light and Air thus to divide; To let in all the useful Beams of Day, Yet force, as subtil Winds, without thy Shash to stay; T`extract from Embers by a strange Device, Then polish fair these Flakes of solid Ice; Which, silver`d o`er, redouble all in place, And give thee back thy well or ill-complexion`d Face. To Vessels blown exceed the gloomy Bowl, Which did the Wine`s full excellence controul, These shew the Body, whilst you taste the Soul. Its colour sparkles Motion, lets thee see, Tho` yet th` Excess the Preacher warns to flee, Lest Men at length as clearly spy through Thee.
