Excerpt from The Southern Harp: Consisting of Original Sacred and Moral Songs, Adapted to the Most Popular Melodies for the Piano-Forte and Guitar

And those who would thy simple form despise, Shall listen, and forget to criticise.

I thought at first to show thee by my side Without adornment - 'twas a thought of pride! Now, clothed in' music's sweetest harmonies, How many will thy humble beauties prize!

I think, my Muse! 'twas wisdom, on my part, To let thee sing thy Way to every heart.

So, (as I've introduced thee now in style, ) Rest thee - I'll introduce myself the while.
