Title:     Epigram On Seeing Miss Fontenelle In A Favourite Character
Author: Robert Burns [More Titles by Burns]

Sweet naivete of feature,
Simple, wild, enchanting elf,
Not to thee, but thanks to Nature,
Thou art acting but thyself.

Wert thou awkward, stiff, affected,
Spurning Nature, torturing art;
Loves and Graces all rejected,
Then indeed thou'd'st act a part.

[The end]
