2. The Argument.
ANne hearing Phillis her rude Love relate,
(Whose tender brest was free from all deceit)
Feares lest her youth to lust she might ingage,
And bids her to be couns••l'd by her age.
A Virgins office, and how Maids be caught,
(Saith she) three times vine Winters have me taught:
Take me thy Guide, and no way thou canst ••••re,
Who before Venus sweets, chaste love prefer.
Which in alternate language whil'st they plead,
In view and presence of the Marriage bed,
Phillis, whom youth and fresh love doth possesse,
Her amorous thoughts begins thus to expresse.
We, when in health, for sicke folks counsel finde,
But sicke our selves; we quickly change our minde.
