Analysis of To The Same (Amanda) With A Copy Of The 'Seasons'
James Thomson 1700 (Port Glasgow) – 1748 (London)
Accept, loved Nymph, this tribute due
To tender friendship, love, and you:
But with it take what breathed the whole.
O take to thine the poet's soul.
If Fancy here her power displays,
And if a heart exalts these lays-
You, fairest, in that fancy shine,
And all that heart is fondly thine.
