Hail to this fair Propitius Day
on which was Lovely M--- Born
Let Nature all that's Sweet display

Still are the Roaring winds that Raise
Tempest and Terrour on the main
Bright are the Blythsome Beams that Blaze
and Scater Sweets oer evry plain

Bright are the Blythsome Beams that Blaze
and Scater Sweets oer evry plain
While Nature thus in Jovial Mood
Appears well pleasd with M--- Birth
Let Bachus warm our Ravisht Blood

Who now with Sparkling Cups Resolve
to celebrate her Birth and fame
Whose witt and sweetness can desolve
and set the flintyest heart on flame

Whose witt and sweetness can desolve
and set the flintyest heart on flame
