To my dearest Storm
On his birthday
_________
My dearest boy,
We must employ,
Our hours in mirth,
Upon your birth.
Then let this day
Be passed in play
A masquerade so fine
At three o clock to dine
Then we must skip, and run,
And have most glorious fun.
_________
Many happy returns of your birthday, and may you be happy as long as you live
I am your affectionate
Arabell.
