Friendfhip, with thy pow'r divine
Brighten all our features !
What but fmndlhip, love, and wine,
Can make us happy creatures ?

Love, thy godhead I adore,
Source of gen'rous paffions !
But will ne'er bow down before
Thofe idols, wealth and fafhions.

Why the plague mould we be fad
Whilft on earth we moulder ?
Whether we're merry, grave, or mad,
We ev'ry day grow older.
Bring the flafk, &c.
Then, fince time will (leal away
Spite of all our forrow,
Heighten ev'ry joy to-day,
And never mind tomorrow !
Bring the "flalk, &c.
