On the 28th May, G. I.
At Cana once heaven's Lord was pleas'd,Amongst blyth bridal folks to dine,
And then, to crown that happy feast,
Turn'd jars of water into wine.
But when for joy of B---k's birth,
Our tribunes mounted the theatre,
Heaven would not countenance their mirth,
But turn'd their claret into water.
