POETA ad SUPEROS.
Ye Gods! who sit, and live at Rest,
Attend to hear my Wishes;
I'm in a Hurry to be bless'd;
So, pray, be expeditious.
Attend to hear my Wishes;
I'm in a Hurry to be bless'd;
So, pray, be expeditious.
Grant me—let's see—now, if you please,
This very Moment, grant—
Plague take it: How vexatious this!
I can't think what I want.
This very Moment, grant—
Plague take it: How vexatious this!
I can't think what I want.
