To the Most Illustrious FREDERICK SCHEFFER, Tir-Oen, of the County of Cork; Sendeth Greeting.

Scheffer, 'tis to thee we owe
All of Hermaphrodites we know.
Thy jocund Muse will never tire one,
Pleas'd with thy Peruke and Gridiron.
Is there on earth a wanton dame,
Who does not evny Myra's frame?
Is there a God, that wou'd not be
Vol, or the Warriour, sung by thee?
