Ramble of the Gods, &c.

The Gods, well pleas'd, with all they saw on Earth,
Where works of genius daily had New Birth,
Breath'd forth a pray'r that soon a lasting Peace,
Might crown this Isle, and Commerce still increase;
Then to their lib'ral Host's, they back repair'd,
And with Old Vulcan friendly bumpers shar'd;
Thence re-ascended to the realms above,
And with their Rambles oft divert Old Jove,
