No sooner FLAVIO was you gone	A
But your Injunction thought upon	B
ARDELIA took the Pen	C
Designing to perform the Task	D
Her FLAVIO did so kindly ask	D
Ere he returned agen	C
	-
Unto Parnassus strait she sent	E
And bid the Messenger that went	E
Unto the Muses Court	F
Assure them she their Aid did need	G
And begg'd they'd use their utmost Speed	G
Because the Time was short	F
	-
The hasty Summons was allow'd	H
And being well bred they rose and bow'd	H
And said they'd poste away	I
That well they did ARDELIA know	C
And that no Female's Voice below	C
They sooner wou'd obey	I
	-
That many of that rhiming Train	C
On like Occasions sought in vain	C
Their Industry t'excite	J
But for ARDELIA all they'd leave	K
Thus flatt'ring can the Muse deceive	K
And wheedle us to write	J
	-
Yet since there was such haste requir'd	L
To know the Subject 'twas desir'd	L
On which they must infuse	M
That they might temper Words and Rules	N
And with their Counsel carry Tools	N
As Country Doctors use	O
	-
Wherefore to cut off all Delays	P
'Twas soon reply'd a Husband's Praise	P
Tho' in these looser Times	Q
ARDELIA gladly wou'd rehearse	R
A Husband's who indulg'd her Verse	R
And now requir'd her Rimes	Q
	-
A Husband eccho'd all around	S
And to Parnassus sure that Sound	S
Had never yet been sent	E
Amazement in each Face was read	T
In haste th'affrighted Sisters fled	T
And unto Council went	E
	-
Erato cry'd since Grizel's Days	P
Since Troy Town pleas'd and Chivey chace	U
No such Design was known	C
And 'twas their Bus'ness to take care	V
It reach'd not to the publick Ear	W
Or got about the Town	C
	-
Nor came where Evening Beaux were met	X
O'er Billet doux and Chocolate	Y
Lest it destroy'd the House	Z
For in that Place who cou'd dispence	Z
That wore his Cloaths with common Sense	Z
With mention of a Spouse	Z
	-
'Twas put unto the Vote at last	A2
And in the Negative it past	A2
None to her Aid shou'd move	B2
Yet since ARDELIA was a Friend	C2
Excuses 'twas agreed to send	C2
Which plausible might prove	B2
	-
That Pegasus of late had been	C
So often rid thro' thick and thin	C
With neither Fear nor Wit	D2
In Panegyrick been so spurr'd	L
He cou'd not from the Stall be stirr'd	L
Nor wou'd endure the Bit	D2
	-
Melpomene had given a Bond	E2
By the new House alone to stand	F2
And write of War and Strife	G2
Thalia she had taken Fees	Z
And Stipends from the Patentees	Z
And durst not for her Life	G2
	-
Urania only lik'd the Choice	Z
Yet not to thwart the publick Voice	Z
She whisp'ring did impart	H2
They need no Foreign Aid invoke	I2
No help to draw a moving Stroke	I2
Who dictate from the Heart	H2
	-
Enough the pleas'd ARDELIA cry'd	H2
And slighting ev'ry Muse beside	H2
Consulting now her Breast	H2
Perceiv'd that ev'ry tender Thought	H2
Which from abroad she'd vainly sought	H2
Did there in Silence rest	H2
	-
And shou'd unmov'd that Post maintain	C
Till in his quick Return again	C
Met in some neighb'ring Grove	J2
Where Vice nor Vanity appear	K2
Her FLAVIO them alone might hear	W
In all the Sounds of Love	L2
	-
For since the World do's so despise	Z
Hymen's Endearments and its Ties	Z
They shou'd mysterious be	M2
Till We that Pleasure too possess	Z
Which makes their fancy'd Happiness	Z
Of stollen Secrecy	M2
