life:
He, who when feigning madness try'd,
With care to turn the plough aside,
Nor o'er that furrow bend its way,
Where he beheld his infant lay.
The Queen, whom Jove with love assail'd,
And in the husband's form prevail'd;
The King, whose horses Diomed,
And grave Ulysses captive led;
And now conclude with that blest time,
We should enjoy, while in its prime.
So place the initials, and they'll say,
A month, not quite so warm as May.

I would have you that great University name,
From whence many good scholars, have risen to fame;
Then where William the Conqueror, rested in peace,
And all his vexations in this world, did cease;
Then tell me the River, on whose verdant sides,
The noble, the merchant, the trader resides,
Whose opulent stream wild meandring flows,
Well laden with riches, to proud London goes:
Then where, the best medicine is to be had,
For those who are bitten, by dogs raving mad.
The fam'd Wells in Derbyshire, which we are told,
Tho' close by each other, are one hot, t'other cold:
That commotion, which troubles the bowels of earth
And causes confusion, when 'ere it bursts forth;
Then a place name in Berkshire, where Henry the first
Lays quietly resting, that Fates done her worst.
Join the first letters together, and soon they will make
A month, when its pleasant a ramble to take.
A. R.
