Pray shun the blast,
And travel fast,
    Wrap'd close in fur.

I'm sorry too,
To part with you,
Your courteous care
At infant school,
Next summer cool,
    I hop'd to share.

My wish to go,
I do not know
    But they'll refuse,
Is it not shame
My age should claim
    No right to choose?

Twice has the sphere
Roll'd round the year,
    Since I saw light;
