DEAR FRIEND,

No more a stranger now: I lately past

Thy curious building-call'd-but then my hafte
Deny'd me a full draught; I did but taste.

Thy wine was rich and pleasing; did appear
No common grape : my hafte could not forbear
A fecond fip; I hung a garland there:

Paft on my way; I lafh'd through thick and thin,
Difpatch'd my bufinefs, and return'd again;
I call'd the fecond time; unhors'd, went in:

View'd every room; each room was beautify'd
With new invention, carv'd on every fide,
To please the common and the curious ey'd :

View'd every office; every office lay
Like a rich magazine; and did bewray
thy treasure, open'd with thy golden key :
VOL. IV.

Deny'd me a full draught; I did but taste.

Thy wine was rich and pleasing; did appear
No common grape my hafte could not forbear
A fecond fip; I hung a garland there :

Pat on my way; I lash'd through thick and thin,
Jifpatch'd my business, and return'd again;
call'd the fecond time; unhors'd, went in:

Fiew'd every room; each room was beautify'd
With new invention, carv'd on every side,
o please the common and the curious ey'd :

'iew'd every office; every office lay
ike a rich magazine; and did bewray
hy treasure, open'd with thy golden key :
