What Cato advises most certainly wise is, Not always to labour, but sometimes to play; To mingle sweet pleasure with search after treasure, Indusging at night for the toils of the day.

And while the dull miser esteems himself wiser, His bags to increase, while his health must decay; Our souls we enlighten, our fancies we brighten, And pass the long evenings in pleasure away.

All cheerful and hearty, we set aside party, With some tender fair each bright bumper is crown'd; Here Bacchus invites us, there Venus delights us, And care in an ocean of Madeira is drown'd.

See there's our physician, we know no ambition; For where there's good wine and good company found, Thu happy together, in spite of all weather, 'Tis sunshine and summer with us the year round;
