" Much I love
" To fee the fair one bind the ftraggling pink,
Cheer the fweet rofe, the lupin, ana the ftock,
And lend a ftaff to the ftill gadding pea.
Ye fair, it well becomes you. Better thus
Cheat time away, than at the crowded rout,
Ruftling in filk, in a fmall room, clofc-pcnt,
And heated e'en to fufion ; made to breathe
A rank contagious air, and fret at whift,
Or fit afide to fneer and whifper fcandal."
