So, when you've leisure,
'T will give me pleasure.
    Your notes to see;
Some grave advice,
Or precept wise,
    Pray send to me.




Baby to a Baby, with a New-Year's Present.


'T is New-Year's day,
The people say,
    Kind notes they frame,
And presents send,
So I, my friend,
    Will do the same.

I think I must
Write you the first,
    Because you see
My age is four
Whole months and more,
    And yours but three.
