BACCHUS DISARM'D.
To Mrs. Laura Dillon, now Lady Falkland.
Bacchus to Arms, the Enemy's at hand,Laura appears; Stand to your Glasses, stand,
The God of Love, the God of Wine defies,
Behold him in full March, in Laura's Eyes:
Bacchus to Arms, and to resist the Dart,
Each with a faithful Brimmer guard his Heart.
129
For Love comes pouring in with every Drop;
I feel him in my Heart, my Blood, my Brain,
Fly, Bacchus fly, Resistance is in vain,
Or craving Quarter, crown a friendly Bowl
To Laura's Health, and give up all thy Soul.
