The sprightly dance, the magic song,

Shall then the festive night prolong;

The tragic muse shall lend her aid,

In Johnson’s matchless charms array’d;

Or Melmoth rouse the tender tear,

Now melt in woe—now start with fear;

While every sportive Thalian grace,

In either Hodgkinson we trace.

Enticing cards shall next invite

To scenes of ever new delight,
