Unspeakable, who sit'st above these Heav'ns
Էջ 413 - Quips and Cranks, and wanton Wiles, Such as hang on Hebe's cheek, Nods and Becks, and wreathed Smiles, And love to live in dimple sleek; 30 Sport that wrinkled Care derides, And Laughter holding both his sides, Come, and trip it as you go On the light fantastic toe,
