Behold, what 1 olumes to the Fires are born.
What Throngs of Bards their crackling Labours mourn!

Had but themselves consign'd'em to the Flame!

But where are they whose Works the Muses prize?
In Triumph to the Temple, Lo they rise
The lovd of Jove, and Darlings of the skies.

Ah! bright Belinda, hither fly,

31

2Ah! Charmion, shroud those killing eyes, 66

Ah! fading joy, how quickly art thou paft? 211

Ab! how sweet to see the eyes

43

Ah! lovely nymph, no more be coy,

261

Ah! Syren charmer, turn again,

227

Ah, the Shepherd's mournful fate!

212

All nature blooms when you appear,

259

Amphion's lyre the rocky quarry calls,

263

Ancient Phillis has young graces,

2.49

And I'll o'er the moor to Maggy,

50

Arife, arife, great dead, for arms renown'd,

33

As charming Clara walk'd alone,

Around her fee Cupid flying,

As Clintor with Amelia fat,

As early I walk'd, on the first of fwest May,

A spouse I do hate,

As foon as the chaos was made into form,

As tipling John was jogging on,

As, when on mountain-heads,

At Winchester was a wedding,

Away with forrow and whining,
