  1. 'Tis time to give me a discharge, to prove
  2. Some other, some more glorious theme than love
  3. See Bacchus beckons me my voice to raise,
  4. Of lofty deeds to sings, in lofty lays;
  5. To mount my muse on some more generous horse,
  6. And try her courage in some daring course.
  7. Adieu, my sighing elegies, adieu!
  8. I'll be no more concern'd with love or you;
  9. But what I write my being shall survive,
  10. And in his verse the poet ever live.
