SONG. BY CHARLES SACKVILLE, EARL OF DORSET DORINDA's fparkling wit and eyes, United, caft too fierce a light, Which blazes high, but quickly dies; Pains not the heart, but hurts the fight; Love is a calmer, gentler joy, Smooth are his looks, and foft his pace; Her Cupid is a black-guard boy, 5 * Born 1657; dyed 1706. WRITTEN AT ALTHROP, IN A BLANK LEAF OF WALLER'S POEMS, UPON SEEING VANDYKE'S PICTURE OF THE OLD LADY SUNDERLAND. VAND BY CHARLES MONTAGUE, EARL OF HALIFAX.* ANDYKE had colours, foftness, fire, and art, When the fair Sunderland inflam'd his heart. Waller had numbers, fancy, wit, and fire, Why then at Althrop feems her charms to faint, 5 Soft Amoret with bright' Sacharifla join'd. As high as Nature reach'd, their art could foar; But she ne'er made a finish'd piece before. Born 1661; dyed 1715. V. 10. brightest. 10 HORACE, Book IV. ODE III.
