A bird that does prefer dun night to day;
A city where bright truth and honour shine,
Whose laws are rear’d on sentiments divine:
An Aeronaut of courage, skill and fame,
A Town that mistress of the world did reign.
A Bard who sung the various arts of Love,
A path through which the planets yearly move:
An act that mutual pleasure does impart,
What animates and warms each feeling heart.
The initials if rightly combin’d will declare,
