The surest Judgment, and the brightest Wit,

Himself Mecænas and a Flaccus too,

And all the worthies of the British Realm

In order rang’d succeeded, Healths that ting’d

The Dulcet Wine with a more charming Gust.

Now each their Mistress by whose scorching Eyes

Fir’d, tost Cosmelia Fair, or Dulcibella,

Or Silvia Comely Black with jetty Eyes

Piercing, or Airy Celia sprightly Maid.

Insensibly thus flow Unnumber’d Hours;
