Of ev’ry Saucy Boor, the jest:

The young despis’d her, and the Sage

Look’d back on Time’s impartial page;

They knew that youth was giv’n to prove

The season of extatic joy,

That none but Cynics would destroy,

The early buds of Love.

They also knew that Debby sigh’d

For charms that envious Time deny’d;

That she was vex’d with jealous Spleen
