Poems on Affairs of State | ||
On the Duke of B---'s House. Sic siti lætantur Lares.
Happily hous'd these Lares are,To feed on Vista's and fresh Air,
To dine with Humphrey's Duke each day,
And gaze their Supper-time away.
Wou'd Ceres bring her Sheafs of Corn,
'Twou'd better Sheffield's House adorn;
To which if Bacchus Grapes wou'd bring,
Then might the Lares laugh and sing.
