Silly swain thy aspect horrid rather fright-ens her than charms Rouse each dull and droop-ing spirit fling away thy myrtle wreath bumpers large of gen-rous claret makes thee love and raptures breath. Sacrifice this juice prolifick, to each letter of her name. Gods they deem'd it a specifick, why not mortals do the same?
