Included in\u00a0Juvenile Poems on Various Subjects,\u00a0it emphasized collegiality, which was a testament to Godfrey&#8217;s appreciation of the circle of artists he had befriended in Philadelphia. This theme is evident in his drinking song, &#8220;Dithyrambic on Wine&#8221;: Come! Let Mirth our hours employ, The jolly God inspires; The rosy juice our bosom fires, And tunes our souls to joy. -Godfrey, Thomas (playwright)"}
