SONG.

I

Here's to Thee, my Damon, let's drink, and be merry,
And drown all our Cares in full Bumpers of Sherry;
Commit e'ry Care to the Guardians above,
And we'll live like Immortals in Pleasure and Love.

II

Here's Phillis's Health, Lo! the Liquor flows higher,
'Tis Phillis's Name that awakens its Fire;
Since the Liquor is clear, let our Eloquence shine,
And Fancy be brisk, as the sparkling Wine:

III

Ye Nymphs, and ye Graces, ye Cupids, ye Swains,
Go pluck the sweet Roses, the Pride of the Plains;
Pluck only such Roses, as worthy the Fair,
And weave her a Chaplet, with diligent Care:

IV

While to yon cool Poplar's kind Shade we retire,
To melt in Embraces, and mingle our Fire;
In languishing Blisses, we'll live, and we'll die,
She'll melt in the Flames, that I catch at her Eye.
