Warm'd with ev'ry virtuous fire,
See the virtuous youth aspire!
Rip'ning as a fruitful tree,
Into rich maturity;

Which shall num'rous years be feen,

Ever fruitful-ever green.
Long may he rejoice to fee
This returning jubilee;
Who to life firft broke his way
On this memorable day.

Oh may heav'nly smiles adorn
The happy day OFFLEY was born:
And all needful gifts difpenfe,
In his common Providence ;
For his welfare to provide,
This and ev'ry day befide.
All through Life may he poffefs
Ev'ry fource of happinefs."
All domeftic comforts prove,
Health, contentment, peace and love.

But when Nature pants for breath,
And his foul draws near to death,
May he, when the call is giv'n,
Be advanc'd from earth to Heav'n ;
There to feel, and there to prove
Heav'nly joy, and heav'nly love ;
In the bleft embrace to be
Of a fmiling Deity.

'Tis cracking but the pies cruft lid
To tafle the favory meat that's hid!

And then the favours of the ladies-
In whofe dimples live the babies-

They to foldiers give new ardour-

Signal trumpets, with their clangor,
In fame heroes raise up anger;-
But I feel a livelier tingle,
From the dinner bell's fweet jingle!
