Subject(s): "philips, Ambrose (1674-1749);
Bloom of Wit, and choicest Flow'r
Of the Muses Blissful Bow'r;
Thou, of @#Jove the fond Delight,
Brightest Offspring of the Bright.

A wake, or kindly Lull a sleep . . .
And the Smoothness of the Numbers,
Witchingly inviting Slumbers;
And the Sense that finely shews,
Thin as thinnest Blossom blows.
