    EPIGRAPH: You will see Hunt--one of those happy souls Which are the salt of the earth, and without whom This world would smell like what it is--a tomb; Who is, what others seem; his room no doubt Is still adorned with many a cast from Shout, With graceful flowers tastefully placed about; And coronals of bay from ribbons hung, And brighter wreaths in neat disorder flung; The gifts of the most learned among some dozens Of female friends, sisters-in-law, and cousins

    EPIGRAPH: Fatally fair they are, and in their Smiles The Graces, little Loves, and young Desires inhabit; But all that gaze upon them are undone; For they are false, luxurious in their Appetities, And all the Heaven they hope for is Variety. One Lover to another still succeeds; Another, and another after that, And the last Food is welcome as the former; Till having lov'd his Hour out, he gives his Place, And mingles with the Herd that went before him.
