Little gaudy fluttering misses,
Smiling hopes of future blisses. Ever, &c.

All that rip'ning sun can bring,
Beauteous summer beauteous spring
In one varying scene we show
The green, the ripe, the bud, the blow. Ever, &c.

Be it peace or be it war,
Both, or either, I don’t care;
Prithee Colin, what have you
Or I with peace or war to do? Ever, &c.

Comus jesting, music charming;
Wine inspiring, bauty warming;
Rage and party-malice dies,
Peace returns, and discord flies;

Emblems of the joys above,
All is rapture, all is love.

FINIS.
