HYMN XXXIII. For SATURDAY. Now's the time for mirth and play, Saturday's an holyday; Praise to heav'n unceasing yield, I've found a lark's nest in the field. 5A lark's nest, then your play-mate begs You'd spare herself and speckled eggs; Soon she shall ascend and sing Your praises to th'eternal King. Publ. 1771
