Such delights if thou canst give,
Bath, at thee I choose to live.
Made by a hungry poet here,
A happy bard, who rhymes and eats,
And lives by uttering quaint conceits;
Yet thinks to him alone belong
The laurels due to modern song.
Bath, at thee I choose to live.

Inclos'd you'll find some lines, my dear,Made by a hungry poet here,
A happy bard, who rhymes and eats,
And lives by uttering quaint conceits;
Yet thinks to him alone belong
The laurels due to modern song.
