An Acrostic

J-ustice to beauty, wit, and sense.
(U-nequall'd in the present tense)
L-ooks sternly at me, while I sit.
(I-mprudent scribbler void of wit)
A-Julia's character to hit.

G-reatness of mind; a tender heart.
O-f softest passions sharing twice its part,
R-efinement both in thought and manners too;
H-onour, and justice giving each his due;
A-ll these rich graces, join'd with thousand more,
M-ake Julia lov'd and honour'd more and more.

An Acrostic

L.ured by a word, a glance, a smile, a nod,
O.[x]ur fine affections idolize this God.
V.ows oaths epistles oft persuasive prove,
E.yes are the sweetest harbinger of love.
[line]
Beauty and wit must die.
Learning will pass away,
    But virtue will remain forever.
