TO THE AUTHOR OF Agnes de Castro.
ORinda, and the Fair Astrea gone,Not one was found to fill the Vacant Throne:Aspiring Man had quite regain'd the Sway,Again had Taught us humbly to Obey;Till you (Natures third start, in favour of our Kind)With stronger Arms, their Empire have disjoyn'd,And snatcht a Lawrel which they thought their Prize,Thus Conqu'ror, with your Wit, as with your Eyes.Fired by the bold Example, I would tryTo turn our Sexes weaker Destiny.O! How I long in the Poetick Race,To loose the Reins, and give their Glory Chase;For thus Encourag'd, and thus led by you,Methinks we might more Crowns than theirs Subdue.
Dela Manley.
