MISCELLANIES.

IMPROMPTU.
Written under a picture of the
COUNTESS OF SANDWICH DRAWN IN MAN’S HABIT.
When Sandwich in her ſex’s garb we ſee,
The queen of Beauty then ſhe ſeems to be;
Now fair Adonis in this male-diſguiſe,3
Or little Cupid with his mother’s eyes:
No ſtyle of empire chang’d by this remove,
Who ſeem’d the goddeſs ſeems the god of Love.6
WRITTEN UNDER
MRS. HARE’S NAME
UPON A DRINKING-GLASS.
The gods of Wine, and Wit, and Love, prepare,
With cheerful bowls, to celebrate the fair;
Love is enjoin’d to name his fav’rite toaſt,3
And Hare ’s the goddeſs that delights him moſt:
Phœbus approves, and bids the trumpets ſound,
And Bacchus, in a bumper, ſends it round.6
