Surry [sic] June 11
My dear Sister
Tho I am still in the House of a Friend where various Companions & particularly two engaging children leave me but little Time to myself I must thank you, in a short Epistle at least, for a delightful Letter which I found yesterday in the Parlour of Longinus — I shall esteem dandelion as the most precious offspring of Vegetation for having dissipated the lethargic Languor which threatened to cloud the Splendor of yr brilliant Imagination
The Lilly & the Rose no more
shall deck each Poets Lays
ye Bards your tuneful Tribute pour
In Dandelions Praise
Tis true the Lilly & \the/ Rose
To Julia's Bosom prest,
While they their rival Sweets disclose,
Enrich her fragrant Breast
