Nor could Fate study how
To bless a Mortal more.

ADIEU to Virginity,
That silly strange nothing, that Maids are so
fond of,
Room, Room, for the Bridegroom, he,
All Beauties dear Trophies has now the command of ;
Banish all thoughts of resty Diana,
Crown the full Bowl, a Health to Lucina.
Who e'er the Year be run,
Gives the fair Bride a Son,
Able, able, to pledge his
run, \
