On the Right Honourable Lady Betty Bertie's Birth-Day . By * * * * * * * * * * * Inserted at the Request of Norris Bertie , Esq ; The day that gave Eliza breath , May give ten thousand swains their death . Why then , fond youth ! so wond'rous gay , Is this a fit rejoycing day ? As well might Priam's subjects load The altars of their guardian God : As well express untimely Joy , At the great birth-day of the Boy Whom fate ordain'd to fire their Troy .
