19th century Valentine

-
"O! by the Graces, by the Loves designed
In happy hour t' enjoy an envied place;
Attendant on the fairest of her kind,
Whose charms excel the charms of human race.To thee I then direct my humble gaze;
To thee uncensur'd may my hopes aspire:
Less awful are the sweets thy looks displays;
I view, and kindling as I view, desire."A 19th century valentine published by J V Quick of London.
