CLIO, behold this glorious day, The zephyrs blow, the sun looks gay, The sky one perfect blue; Can you refuse at such a time, When Fox and I both beg for rhyme, To sing us something new? First Lord Holland, Father of Charles Fox. The goddess smil'd, and thus begun: "I've got a fav'rite theme, my son, "I'll sing the conquer'd Duchess; "I'll sing of that disdainful fair, "Who, 'scap'd from Scotch and English snare, "Is fast in Irish clutches.
