FRAGMENT TO * * * * * *
Let mules and asses in that circle tread,And proud of trappings toss a feather'd head;
457
Strive to be happy, and despise the great:
Come where the Graces guide the gentle day,
Where Venus rules amidst her native sea,
Where at her altar gallantries appear,
And even Wisdom dares not show severe.
