class="i0">His noble strains, and verse to raise,
Singing of heaven, his tuneful lays,
In numbers born to lasting fame,
I beg you'll tell this writer's name.
Next him, another Author tell,
Who wrote in numbers soft and well;
Whose lines were tutor'd to convey,
To every heart the moral lay,
Whose Cato and Spectators shine,
With many beauties of the nine;
Now he, whose gloomy thoughts appear,
For ever damp'd with sorrows tear,
Whose discontented numbers show,
The cause, from which his murmurs flow,
And disappointment marks the name,
Of him, who grumbling sought for fame.
These writers, when their names yon know,
Will tell a month when flowrets blow.

♍Virgo
The goddess of the rosy morn,
Whose smiles with health, our cheeks adorn;
Then tell as quickly as you can,
The Poets much enduring man;
The Youth who gave the cup on high,
When fair Hebe left the sky;
The Muses name, I'd have you find,
Most to astronomy inclin'd;
Then take the River, at whose sound,
The gods, eternally are bound;
The Muse, before whose comic eye,
Despair and melancholy fly;
The initials join'd, will surely find,
Amusement for your active mind,
And rightly plac'd, will soon appear
A month, within the circling year.
