Quotes
Her mouth, which a smile,Devoid of all guile, Half opens to view,Is the bud of the roseIn the morning that blows, Impearl’d with the dew.More fragrant her breathThan the flow’r-scented heath At the dawning of day;The hawthorn in bloom,The lily’s perfume, Or the blossoms of may.
"Air" from William Shield’s Rosina (1783)
