LINES TO LORD NELSON,

With his Lordship's Night-cap, that caught Fire on the Poet's Head at a Candle, as he was reading in Bed at Merton.

Take your night-cap again, my good lord, I desire,
For I wish not to keep it a minute;
What belongs to a Nelson, where'er there's a fire,
Is sure to be instantly in it.
