In Vain You Boast Poetic Names Of Yore, And Cite Those Sapho'S We Admire No More: Fate Doom'D The Fall Of Ev'Ry Female Wit, But Doom'D It Then When First Ardelia Writ. Of All Examples By The World Confest, I Knew Ardelia Could Not Quote The Best; Who, Like Her Mistress On Britannia'S Throne; Fights, And Subdues In Quarrels Not Her Own. To Write Their Praise You But In Vain Essay; Ev'N While You Write, You Take That Praise Away: Light To The Stars The Sun Does Thus Restore, But Shines Himself Till They Are Seen No More.
