Never let thy miftrefs pain you,
Tho' fhe meet you with a frown,
Fly to wine,'twill foon unchain you,
Chear thy heart,
Aud all fmart
la a fweet oblivion drown.
If love's fiercer flames (hould feize thee.
To fome gentle maid repair,
She'll with foft endearments eafe thee,
On her breaft,
Lull'd to reft.
Eas'd of love and free from care.
Friendfliip, love and wine united,
From all ills defend the mind,
By them guarded and delighted,
Happy ftate !
Smile at fate,
And leave forrow to the wind.
