Inscription On A Grotto, The Work Of Nine Ladies. Poem by Alexander Pope

Inscription On A Grotto, The Work Of Nine Ladies.

Rating: 2.6


Here, shunning idleness at once and praise,
This radiant pile nine rural sisters raise;
The glittering emblem of each spotless dame,
Clear as her soul and shining as her frame;
Beauty which nature only can impart,
And such a polish as disgraces art;
But Fate disposed them in this humble sort,
And hid in deserts what would charm a Court.
