To her warm Banks our Veffels cpt the Maid,
For the fweet Prpdudl of her lufcious Cane:
Here Scotia does no coftly Tribute bring,
Only fome Kettles full of f Todian Spring.
Where Indtts and the double Ganges flow.
On odorifrous Plains the Leaves do grow
Chief of the Treat, a Plant the Eoaft of Fame,
Sometimes call’d Green, BO HE A's its greater Na
O happiefl of Herbs! Who would not be
Pythagoriz’d into the Form of thee,
.And with high Tranfports a£l the Part of T E A ?
Kiffes on thee the haughty Belles beflow,
l While in thy Steams their coral Lips do glow
I Thy Vertues and thy Flavour they commend ;
j While Men, even Beaux, with parched Lips attend.
H E Curtain's drawn i Now genrous Reader fay.
Have ye not read worfe Numbers in a Play ?
Sure here is Plot, Place, Chara&er, and time,
! All fmoothly wrought in good firm Englifh Rhime.
/ own, 'tis but a Sample of my Lays,
Which asks the Civil SanElion of your Praife.
Bejlow't with Freedom, let your Praife be ample.
And I my felf will Jhow you good Example.
f Tod’s-Well, which fupplies the City with Water.
EPILOGUE.
