    Vabes, and gaunt Marafmus,-9 hideous Lofs Of godlike Reafon; and th5 imprifon’d Rage Of fierce Lipyria, whole colledied Fires 1 The Vitals only feize. Or if the Sons Of jaded Luxury thofe Plagues efcape. They wafte their melting Youth, and bring grey Hairs Before their Time *, grey Hairs and idle Years. Leave Nature to herfelf, nor covet more Than Nature gives, that but to real Wants 51© Each well-condudted Appetite provokes. J&vt chiefly thee, fair Nymph, it boots to know. That Love and Joy when in their Prime mold fear Decay, the Fate of all created Things.
