Won't you help support DayPoems? Impromptu on Bachelors' HallBy Thomas Paine1737.1.29-1809.6.8At Philadelphia, being destroyed by Lightning, 1775 Fair Venus so often was miss'd from the skies, And Bacchus as frequently absent likewise, That the synod began to inquire out the reason, Suspecting the culprits were plotting of treason; At length it was found they had open'd a ball At a place by the mortals call'd Bachelors' Hall; Where Venus disclosed every fun she could think of, And Bacchus made nectar for mortals to drink of. Jove, highly displeas'd at such riotous doings, Sent Time to reduce the whole building to ruins; But Time was so slack with his traces and dashes, That Jove in a passion consumed it to ashes.
