292
The erring footman with th' unerring card.
'Twas Venus sure; for by their faithful aid
The whisp'ring lover meets the blushing maid;
From solitude they give the cheerful call
To the choice supper, or the sprightly ball;
Speed the soft summons of the gay and fair,
From distant Bloomsbury to Grosvenor Square;
And bring the colonel to the tender hour,
From the Parade, the Senate, or the Tower.
