PART OF THE NINTH ODE OF THE FOURTH BOOK.THE SATIRES OF DR JOHN DONNE, DEAN OF ST PAUL'S,171 VERSIFIED.EPILOGUE177 TO THE SATIRES. IN TWO DIALOGUES. (WRITTEN IN MDCCXXXVIII.)FOOTNOTES:

TO MR C.,80 ST JAMES'S PLACE.

1 Few words are best; I wish you well: Bethel, I'm told, will soon be here; Some morning walks along the Mall, And evening friends, will end the year. 2 If in this interval, between The falling leaf and coming frost, You please to see, on Twit'nam green, Your friend, your poet, and your host: 3 For three whole days you here may rest From office business, news, and strife; And (what most folks would think a jest) Want nothing else except your wife.
