i8<S. A COLLE'CTION
LET the am'rous coxcomb adore a fair face,- - v
An hour's enjoyment makes him look like an fe$£
Let the filly, vain fop to honours afpire,
He burns with the torments of boundlefs deilre.
And let the old mifer hoard up his curs'd pelf,
He enriches his bags, but beggars himfelf.
The lover, th' ambitious, and mifer, are fools,
There's no folid joy but in jolly full bowls.
LET the waiter bring clean glaffes,
With frefh fupply of wine ;
For I fee, by all your faces,
In my wifhes you will join.
It is not the charms of beauty
Which I purpofe to proclaim t
We a while will leave that duty,
For a more prevailing theme.
To the health I'm now propofing,
Let's have one full glafs at leafl ;
No one here can think't impaling,
' Tis the founder of our feaft.
That I was }roimg again,
I'd frill: it beyond meafure,
Kifs, and dance, and fport amain ?
And wanton it at kiiure.
Free ani gay,
I'd pals the day,
