Or Flavia been content to stop At triumphs in a Fleet-street shop : O had her eyes forgot to blaze 1 Or Jack had wanted eyes to gaze, O ! But let exclamation cease, Her presence banish'd all his peace. So with decorum all things carry'd ; Miss frown'd, and blush'd, and then was married. Need we expose to vulgar sight The raptures of the bridal night ? Need we intrude on hallow'd ground, Or draw the curtains clos'd around ? * This an...d the following poems were published hy Dr. Goldsmith, inliis volume of Essays, which appeared in 1765.

The honey-moon like light'ning flew, The second brought its transports too. A third, a fourth, were not amiss, The fifth was friendship mix'd with bliss: But, when a twelvemonth pass'd away. Jack found his goddess made of clay; Found half the charms that deck'd her face Arose from powder, shreds, or lace ; But still the worst remain'd behind.
