To Thomas Mathews, Esq.

Of Landaff, upon his Birth and Wedding-Day.

I.

Muse propitiously attend,
Hail the Birth-Day of a Friend;
Add an interwoven Lay,
To his Hymenaeal Day!

II.

Happy, happy youthful Pair!
Hail to sweet L EANDER'S Fair!
What a charming graceful Mein,
Hail D IANA ! lovely Queen!

III.

Fraught with ev'ry Heart-felt Joy,
Not a Moment's blank Alloy;
May a Train of whitest Days,
Crown, with Happiness and Praise.

IV.

Sister Anna claims my Note,
Brother's Likeness I must quote;
Grant she shares a Sister's Fate,
Bless'd like her in married State,
