DEPARTED PLEASURES. The evaporation of a joyous day Is like the last glass of champagne, without Has sparkled and let half its spirit out; Or like an opiate, which brings troubled rest, But next to dressing for a rout or ball, Undressing is a woe; our robe-de-chambre Thoughts quite as yellow, but less clear than amber. The nights and days most people can remember, (I have had of both, some not to be disdain'd,) I wish they'd state how many they have gain'd. COX AND WYMAN, PRINTERS, GREAT QUEEN STREET, LONDON |
