And to the ambient air their sweets disclose.

Fever'd with pleasure, thus she drags along;

Nor dares her antler'd husband say 'tis wrong;

The blooming offspring of this blissful pair,

In all their parents' attic pleasures share.

Sophy the soft, the mother's earliest joy,

Demands her froward brother's tinsell'd toy;

But he, enrag'd, denies the glittering prize,

And rends the air with loud and piteous cries.

Thus far we see the party on their way;
