FORTUNE TO HARLEQUIN.
In a Pantomime.
I
From my favour, sense rejected,Fools by Fortune are protected:
Fortune, Harlequin, hath found you,
Happiness will hence surround you.
II
Should a thousand ills enclose you,Quick contrivance this bestows you!
Valour makes the fair adore you;
This shall drive your foes before you.
III
Gold's the mighty source of pleasure!Take this purse of magic treasure;
Go—for while my gifts befriend you,
Joy and jollity attend you.
