[ed: margin has cut off some text]
? 4th ode of 2d book of Horace
By Lord Townshend address'd to lt Andrews late
?ort of Trinity College Dublin Blest not, dear Andrew, nor disclaim Passion for a matchless dame. Who kindles in all hearts a flame
By Beauty's magic force:
But though o're Dollys lovely head [su]mmers twice ten are scarcely fled it on account descreet she must refuse of course? ?hn, coeval with thy sire
with a blooming maid aspire
?d felt or feigned a lovers fire at seventy three or more; ?h who in Churchills Battles bled ?k a young virgin to his Bed, horrid dreams disturbed his head Though tottering at fourscore.

My Life you've not denied!
?or think my friend, because I praise ?er Breasts that gently fall & raise, ?r autumn hair, her radiant Eyes I envy your espousals:
No Rival passion fires my breast, Long since now amorous pains at rest; Nay more -- to prove what Ive professt Ill -- carry your proposals!
