[Tea-Table Miscellany Contents]
MAY the ambitious ever find
Success in crowds and noise,
While gentle love does fill my mind
With silent real joys.
–
May knaves and fools grow rich and great,
And all the world think them wise,
While I ly at my Nanny’s feet,
And all the world despise
–
Let conquering kings new triumphs raise,
And melt in court delights:
Her eyes can give much brighter days,
Her arms much softer nights.
