1741. JANUARY hath 31 Days.
Behold yon Mountains hoary Height
Made highter with new Mounts of Snow,
Again hehold the Winters weight
Oppresses the lab'ring Woods below:
And Streams with Icy Fetters bound
Benum'd and Cramp'd to solid Ground.
With well-heap'd Logs dissolve the Cold,
And feed the genial Heat with Fires;
Produce the Wine that mades us bold,
And sprightly Wit and Love inspires: Dryd. Hor.
