DR. DARWIN. 73 



An Alcides^ with mufcular chines j 



But a Venus to draw, 



Bright as fun ever faw, 

 Let him copy my fair Charlotte Lynes*, 



In the midft of gay lights, 



And foreign delights, 

 For his country the banifh'd man pines j 



Thus, from her when away, 



Though my glances may ftray, 

 Yet my heart is with fair Charlotte Lynes. 



It is Atropus' fport, 



With her flieers to cut fhort 

 The thread, which dame Lachefis twines j 



But forbear, you curft jade, 



Or cut mine, not the thread 

 That was {pun for my fair Charlotte Lynes ! 



For quadrille when the fair 



Cards and counters prepare 

 They caft out the tens, eights, and nines, 



And in love 'tis my fear 



The like fate I (hall (hare, 

 Difcarded by fair Charlotte Lynes. 



With hearts full of rapture 

 Our good dean and chapter 



Count
