to invite v.

An invitation have I received,

From a most dear friend,

To meet and drink together,

'Till the night does end.

With the Duchess will I rendezvous,

And Brooksby too I hope,

For soon back down to the South,

Our Duchess must elope.

I haven't seen her for an age,

Nor since the great reveal,

But I cannot wait to see her next,

I look forward to it with zeal.
