109. Reality.
CAst off conceit a while, lay fancy by.
And clear thy pockets of Hyperbolic.
This done (my Genius) court me, and declare
What worthy creatures all your Women are.
Women are sugered Pills, the baits of Gins,
••••xt with corruption, and a world of sins.
Man wins the day, but Woman bears the same:
Th' are Maps of Modesty but 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the same.
Deluding Devils in the garb of Saints;
Built of corruption, beautisi'd with paints,
VVhom nature sent (though art did them attire)
Like Sampsons Foxes, to set all on fire.
