Fresh delight

Each shelf in breadth so uniformly pland 

That books in eightvo size or more might stand 

For this one use I'd have the cubboard made 

Where none but choisest authors should be laid 

Such as Dermody Scott Macniel and Burn 

With rural Bloomfield Templeman and Hurn 

These are the authors that can boast the power 

Of giving raptures in a leisure hour 

& tho I read some of them every night 

Their songs near fail of adding fresh delight
