Classic Poem

Upon the Author's receiving an Invitation to a Friend's House , ( lately gone into Business ) No. 45.

I.

Th' impartial Scribbler has receiv'd
Your friendly Invitation,
On Thursday next he means to call,
To hear of Lynn Relation.

II.

I note your hang-out, give you Joy,
In Life you can't but thrive;
Since Magna Chart protects your House
With Number Forty-five ,

III.

N.B. On second Thoughts, for they are best.
(If Proverbs we regard)
I'll take the Luck of daily Pot,
If you'll forgive your Bard.

IV.

But if the Times should not permit,
Why tip me but a Line,
'Tis all the same, some future Day
Will serve as well to dine.
