TO TIME.
AN ANACREONTIC.
Come hither—pry'thee haste, old Time,
And see what joys amongst us reign;
The bottle, music, girls, and rhime,
And Friendship's soul, delight the scene.
And see what joys amongst us reign;
The bottle, music, girls, and rhime,
And Friendship's soul, delight the scene.
Then hither pr'ythee, Time, repair,
And taste the pleasures, Gods should share.
And taste the pleasures, Gods should share.
The Tuscan juice profusely flows;
We sing of Love, and Delia's charms;
When Morning warns us to repose,
We clasp a fav'rite in our arms.

We clasp a fav'rite in our arms.
Then hither, &c.
Ah, could our joys for ever last!
But, Time, thy minutes fly too fast:
Yet wouldst thou pass one evening here,
Thou'dst make each hour a thousand year.
