tial queen, we pay, Whose minds are lighted with your beauty's ray." Taught by the pray'r these happy lovers made, I tried my wit, and thus devoutly said. "Fairest of all that e'er in nature shin'd, Light of the world, and comfort of mankind, To you, 0 goddess, I my heart bequeath, Freely bestow a thing that's yours till death; Yours be the choice; I only wish to find A faithful mistress, beautiful and kind; No woman yet my settled passion moves, One I have seen whom most my soul approves; Of stature low, cast in a lovely mould, Healthful and young, with hair more bright than gold; Her looks are fresh, her countenance demure, Her eyes, tho' killing, look like crystal pure: Her could I serve; but if your high decree That fair denies, some other find for me, With whom in pleasure I may spend my life, My mistress, empress, anything but wife. So will I always sacrifice to you, And with Diana constant war pursue. A fig for her, and all her chastity; Let monks and friars her disciples be."

pens they vied, And the spilt wine the want of ink supplied. The silent speech too well I understood, For to deceive a lover yet who could? Tho' thou didst write in a laconic hand, And words for sentences were taught to stand. Now ended was the treat, and ev'ry guest Indulg'd his ease, and lay compos'd to rest: Your close, lascivious kisses then I spied, And something more than lips to lips applied; Such from a sister brothers ne'er receive, But yielding fair ones to warm lovers give. Not so Diana would to Phoebus press, But Cytherea so her Mars would bless. Too far provok'd, at last I cried aloud, "On whom are pleasures, due to me, bestow'd? I must not, will not, cannot bear this sight; 'Tis lawful, sure, to seize upon my right. These raptures to us both in common are, But whence, ye furies, claims a third his share?" Enrag'd I spoke, and o'er her cheeks were spread Swift newborn glories in a sudden red; Such blushes on the bridal night adorn The trembling virgin; such the rising mor

e: This kind auspicious place was fram d for love. I fear you're crowded,- Gentlemen, forbear, Pray let your arms and knees the lady spare; Madam, your gown hangs down-nay, pray let me -- Oh heav'ns ! what fine, what curious legs I see! Sure, who Diana in a forest drew, Copied in this the graceful'st parts from you; Such Atalant discovering as she ran, What rapt'rous wishes seiz'd Menalion I burn'd and rag'd before -- what then are these, But flames on flames, and waters to the seas? By these amy love; To Mars let warriors acclamations raise, The merchants' tongues resound with Neptune's praise; Whilst I, whom neither seas nor arms invite, In love alone, the fruit of peace, delight; To their Apollo let the prophets pray, And hunters to Diana homage pay. Let the mechanics to Minerva vow, Rustics to Ceres, and to Bacchus bow; Whilst I devote myself to thee alone, Kind Venus, and the pow'rful god thy son; 0 be propitious to my enterprize, Inform with all thy softness these fair eyes, An
