Poem by Robert Craggs, Earl Nugent

Epigram 5. THO' cheerful, discreet, and with freedom well bred

THO' cheerful, discreet, and with freedom well bred,
She never repented an idle word said:
Securely she smiles on the forward and bold,
They feel what they owe her, and feel it untold.

1. Epigram 1. I Lov'd thee beautiful and kind
2. Epigram 7. I Swore I lov'd, and you believ'd
3. Epigram 2. SInce first you knew my am'rous smart
4. Epigram 17. VAINLY hath heaven denounc'd the woman's woes
5. Epigram 12. WE thought you without titles great
