To the MUSE.
I poetry and mirth admire;Sink sorrow in the sea!
I care not who to thrones aspire,
For what are Kings to me?
Celestial muse! delightful maid!
Pluck each poetic flow'r;
And weave a crown, the brows to shade,
Of her whom I adore.
Attune the harp, the pipe inspire,
The voice of music raise
'Tis Celia fans your sacred fire,
And Celia's be the praise.
