"A Line, or two, / If writ by you, / Will more Impression make / Upon her Heart, / Than all that I can do."
Metaphor in Context
Some Verse, dear Tom, for Pity's Sake!--
A Line, or two,
If writ by you,
Will more Impression make
Upon her Heart,
Than all that I can do:
Then summon to my Aid your Art;
And tell,
Though others love her well;
Yet none, like me, adore;
Her Presence might graft Happiness in Hell;
Without her, Heaven is poor.--

Then summon to my Aid your Art;
And tell,
Though others love her well;
Yet none, like me, adore;
Her Presence might graft Happiness in Hell;
Without her, Heaven is poor.--
