A SONG. By—

MAY the Ambitious ever find Success in Crouds and Noise, While gentle Love does fill my Mind With silent real Joys.
2.
May Knaves and Fools grow Rich and Great, And the World think 'em wise; While I lye dying at her Feet, And all that World despise.
3.
Let Conquering Kings new Triumphs raise, And melt in Court Delights: Her Eyes can give much brighter days, Her Arms much softer Nights.
