Transcription:
This Valentine a hint imparts
To Ladies who would win in hearts
The ace whose Power commands the whole
[Shews modest] Candor’s pure Control
Then Prudence shines in regal State
With Sensibility his mate
White [gay] good humour n[o]thing [cost]
Attends the Waiting knave of [both]
[h]ail Power’s combin’d to charm and please
The honours of the heart are these
And she who justly these can claim
Shall need no [trick] to win her Game
