How I exult when as thy Tread I hear?
Attendant, Valgius' Voice salutes my Ear!
See him his honest, ample Face display,
Broad as the Moon, and chearful as the Day.
Mirth and her Train, his Slaves he brings along,
Gay Gambols, Revelry, and wanton Song,
Nor needs the Aid of the inspiring Bowl
To warm his Fancy, or disclose his Soul,
Which always op'ning in his Face we scan
Claiming a Friend where'er he meets a Man.
