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.
