Byron's Poetical Works, Volume 1

  Anne’s Eye is liken’d to the Sun,
    From it such Beams of Beauty fall;
  And this can be denied by none,
    For like the Sun, it shines on All.

  Then do not admiration smother,
    Or say these glances don’t become her;
  To you, or I, or any other
    Her Sun, displays perpetual Summer. [2]

January 14, 1807.
