A Modern LATIN O D E attempted in

K

ENGLISH.

O qui recifa Finibus Indicis, &c.

IND Friend, with whom I Sip, and Smoke,
The finest Tea, and best Virginia;

Nor part until my Dofe I've took

Of Hermitage, or Mont Alcino:

T

What

What fhall an empty Poet do

To pay the mighty Debt he owes you?
I'll Tap my Mufe and if but low

She runs, I'll Tilt her too to please you.

Old Horace, with a willing Mind,
(Affifting Muse, and Wind, and Weather,)
All but uncommon Flights difdain'd
And dipt his fancy'd Wings in Æther.

To joy his Patron's lufcious Hours,
He fung of Wenching and its Fuel;
How helpful Venus in Amours,
And her ungracious Rogue, how cruel.

And yet the Bard with richer Wine
His jolly Whistle never wetted;

Than from fome empty'd Flasks of Thine
I ftill am plentifully treated,

Nor did his Tufcan Knight e'er bear
To all the Arts a Friendship truer,
Nor was more bountiful, or dear
To him, than to your Odift you are.

O thou Top-Wit of all the Town,
The Court, and eke the H- of Cns,
Whom all the Mufes hang upon,
As thou'rt a conftant Hanger on 'em.

How do's my Marrow melt away,
And every lazy Vein beat quicker,
While gratefully in Memory

I bear thy Friendship and thy Liquor,

But, O my Spirits are too weak
To make the great Returns intended;
I cough, as if my Heart would break,
And wheeze like one that's broken-winded.

[blocks in formation]

My fatal Hour is plainly come,
For want of like refreshing Dofes,
Which only you can fave me from,
And heap new Favours on the Muses,

'Tis done; and now I live again,
And 'feel returning Spirits moving:
Ever may you and Spouse remain
In Health, and the be ever loving.

Renew your Vigour, spent in Care,
with the foft Balm of her Careffes,
In all the Home Affairs of War;
And what's of greatest Weight her Gr's.

Fanny! the Pride of Marriage Sheets,
Beyond compare, whofe Hair, and Neck are,
Whose Lips breathe Everlafting Sweets,
And every Grace affift to deck her.

In fuch a Lot; how happy thou!
While, Wretch, for Molly I am wafting;
Whofe ftarry Eyes have fhot me through,
And harder Heart ftill keeps me fafting:

No other Girl will now go down,
The Tyrant's fent all elfe a packing;
My Heart is hers, and hers alone,
And yet within an Ace of breaking.

Hopeless and reftlefs, Night and Day,
I mourn the Rigour, of the Gipfy;
Nor can your Wine, and Pipes for me
Procure a Nap, tho' ne're fo tipfy.
