A
very
gallant
Copy
of
VERSES
,
(
but
somewhat
silly
)
upon
the
Ladies
,
and
their
fine
Cloaths
at
a
Ball
.
By
Mr.
W.
TAYLOR
.
HAPPY
the
worms
,
that
spun
their
lives
away
,
T'
enrich
the
splendour
of
this
glorious
day
!
Well
pleas'd
these
gen'rous
foreigners
expire
,
A
sacrifice
to
Beauty's
general
fire
.
Oh
!
had
they
seen
,
with
what
superior
grace
Beauty
here
triumphs
in
each
lovely
face
,
Their
am'rous
flames
had
their
own
work
betray'd
,
And
burn'd
the
web
their
curious
art
had
made
!
