To fete these black Achilloses.

And take the rooms at Willis’s/1
With flags and shawls, for these Nepauls,
They hung the rooms; of Willis up,
And dccked the walls, and stairs, and halls,
With 1-QHes and with lilies up.

Arid Jul lien's band it tuck its stand,
So sweetlv in the middle there,

And noft bassoons played heavenly chunes
And violins did fiddle there.

A rate buffet before them set,
Where lash his of good dhrink there was.

So gorgeous and immense he was,
His dusky shuite, sublime and mute,
Into the door-way followed him ;
