LINES

 

Written at BEAUMARIS, NORTH WALES, on a JAILOR’S DAUGHTER, distinguished for her Beauty.

 

Cupid, thou gay and mighty God,

SUMMON all thy magic pow’r,

And in the arms of KITTY QUOD,

LOCK me for one happy hour.

FETTERD IS MY VAGRANT HEART,

By her CAPTIVATING face;

Haste, thou God of am’rous dart,

FIX her in my fond embrace.

Cupid’s decree was thus reported:

Kitty and you shall be TRANSPORTED.
