6. On a Ball.

The worlds a Ball, made up of quarters four,

Asia, Africa, Europe, America.


And with the spangled Heavn bequilted ore;
Pleasure, Honor, and Riches are its all,
Which though the earth stands still, still rise and fall;
41

Square dealings can scarce any where be found,
The reason is, because the world is round.
