When April-verdure springs in Grosvenor-square,
And the furred Beauty comes to winter there,

She bids old Nature mar the plan no more;
Yet still the seasons circle as before.

Tho' moons and flam beaux trail their broadest blaze;
As soon the sky-lark pours his matin-song,
Tho' Evening lingers at the Masque so long.
