Hither the heroes and nymphs resort,<br>To taste awhile the pleasures of a court;<br>In various talk th' instuctive hours they past,<br>Who gave the ball, or paid the visit last;<br>One speaks the glory of the British Queen,<br>And one describes a charming Indian screen<br>A third interprets motions, looks and eyes;<br>At every word a reputation dies.
