Not pleasing objects which soon pass the sight, Or richest food that highest tastes delight. Not numbered music which captivates the ear, Or gayest dress that pleases much the fair, With virtue equal are, my greetings, maid, These clog our sense, this to the mind gives aid, This New Year’s gift your sampler may adorn, And pattern be to others yet unborn.
