BLIND MAN'S BUFF.
TO THE MEN.
PTIHE sport is an emblem of love,
1 When women are caught as they
play;
Now, far out of reach; they remove ;
Then,darings run full in your way.
No fawn, though by nature so shy,
Purfu'd, will elude you so faft:
Yet mim'd, they approach you so
high,
You'r certain to catch them.at
Since trifling, or flying,
Or kindly complying;.
Lore spreads, and they fall in the
snare,„1
Let a generous conneaion
Insure their proteaion,
And make them as happens fair.
With fondnefs endearing,
No falfehood appearing,
Let honor with pleasure unite:
Sweet frailes in reward #
Will enliven your board,
And attend on your pillows at night.
