. . . [1 1/2 columns of a letter from] Strephon.
VERNAL ADVICE, OR, AN ANACREONTIC BALLAD, FOR THE MONTH OF
MAY, ADDRESS'D TO THE LADIES.
  Dear charmers:  with melodious strains
  Come, usher in the spring,
  That drives stern winter from our plains,
  And bids creation sing.

  Where musick slows you walk;
  Th' infectious birds sing nought but love,
  This is their only talk.
