INVITATION TO MASON, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Prim hurd attends your call, & palgrave proud
Last Line: And balguy with a bishop in his belly!
Subject(s): Mason, William (1724-1797)


PRIM Hurd attends your call, & Palgrave proud,
Stonhewer the lewd, & Delaval the loud.
For thee does Powel squeeze, & Marriot sputter,
And Glyn cut phizzes, & Tom Nevile stutter.
Brown sees thee sitting on his nose's tip,
The Widow feels thee in her aching hip,
For thee fat Nanny sighs, & handy Nelly,
And Balguy with a Bishop in his belly!
