First line: ‘At me a Snow Ball you on Friday threw’.
An imitation of a Latin epigram beginning ‘Me nive candenti petiit modo Julia, rebar’, sometimes attributed to Petronius Afranius (see e.g. Alterius delectus specimen ex nuperis, maxime, poetis, ab electoribus praetermissis, pp. 15–16, printed as an appendix to the seventh edition of Epigrammatum delectus (1711), ‘In usum Scholæ Etonensis’).

Transcript
To – – – –
At me a Snow Ball you on Friday threw,
Which from your hand a double whiteness drew,
A tingling torment in the stroke I found,
But thought no fire conceal’d in such a wound;
The cold extreme by Ice is most express’d,
Yet from thee, Julia, snow can fire my breast:
Who can be free from Cupid’s ambuscade,
If fiery darts in Ice can be convey’d?
Oh! may the Maid with equal ardour glow,
And quench with fire, what she inflam’d with Snow!
