By careless fancy crown'd with flowers;
Come, fairy joys, and wishes gay,
And dance in sportive rounds away.
So shall the moments gaily glide
O'er varying life's tumultuous tide;
Nor sad regrets disturb their course,
To calm oblivion's peaceful source.

3. To the Memory of Thomas Chatterton
4. Addressed to Mrs. G.
5. Song 12. Where the green ivy twining
