Transcriber's Note.

Words in italics in the book are enclosed between underscores in this ebook. The original capitalisation, italics, spellings, line breaks, hyphenation and (as far as possible) page layout, are retained; the aim thereby is to convey more accurately the flavour of the original. Most errors (for example inconsistent use of round and square brackets, and the misnumbering of page 17 as page 71) have also been kept. However, a small number of corrections have been made for the convenience of the reader (where, for example, there are no spaces between words).

INTRODUCTION.

   Again the coral berry'd holly glads the eye,
   The ivy green again each window decks,
   And mistletoe, kind friend to Bassia's cause,
   Under each merry roof invites the kiss;
   Come then, my friends, ye friends to Harris come,
   And more than kisses share, drink love supreme
   From his ambrosial cup, tho' oft replete
   Satiety ne'er gives, but leaves the ravish'd sense
   Supremely blest, and ever craving more.
   Come ye gay sons of pleasure, come and feast
   Your every sense, and lave your souls in love,
   Fearless advance, nor think of ills to come;
   Here taste variety, of love's sweet gifts,
   Pure and unstain'd as at kind nature's birth.
