EPIGRAM XIV.

[To Childermas day some object]

STAT SUA CUIQUE DIES.

To Childermas day some object,
Some Friday deem a bad day;—
But Will, by no such motions check'd,
Lets no day be a sad day:

More cheerful still, as more in debt,
He makes each day, a May-day;
Nor would he ever fear, or fret,
But for that queer day,—Pay-day!
