VOCAL ENCHANTRESS. 279
Love, thy godhead I adore,
Source of generous paflion ;
But will ne'er bow down before
Thofe idols wealth or fafhion.
Bring the flalk, &c.
Friendfhip, with thy fmile divine,
Brighten all our features ;
What but friendfhip, love, and wine,
Can make us happy creatures ?
Bring the flalk, &c.
Why the deuce fhould we be fad
While on earth we moulder ?
Grave, or gay, or wife, or mad,
We ev'ry day grow older.
Bring the flalk, &c.
Then iince time will ileal away
Spite of all our forrow ;
Heighten ev'ry joy to-day,
Never mind to-morrow,,
Bring the flalk, &c,
