Amanda’s Character Poem by Henry Baker

Amanda’s Character



Without Affectation, gay, youthful and pretty;
Without Pride, or Meanness, familiar and witty;
Without Forms, obliging, good--natur'd, and free;
Without Art, as lovely as lovely can be.

She acts what she thinks, and she thinks what she says;
Regardless alike both of Censure and Praise:
But her Thoughts, and her Words, and her Actions, are such,
That none can admire or praise them too much.
