49. Put the case,
IF Whores and Rogues were link't together,'Twould be a brave conjunction;And oyled with the oyl of leather,'Twould be a curious unction.••f Mars shall move in Venus sphear,What alteration might we fear?
2.
••f I should love and be neglected,What would become of me?••f the French Pox had thee infected,What would become of thee?••f Cupid cuts Alceste's Corns,May not Admetus fear the Horns?
3.
••f Time with his long sithe should mowDeath down, and make him die:
descriptionPage 70
Then Reader but imagine, ohWhat blades were thee and I?If this were so, in stead of peace,Both men and malice would encrease,
4.
If the first mover of the OrbsShould chance to fall asleep,The Scottish Knight, Sir Arthur Forbs,Could hardly shear his Sheep.Or if Apollo close his eye,What light would you see Planets by?
5.
If thou and I were both as one,Endow'd with worldly riches,If thou keep Whores, and I keep none,Who first might pawn his breechts?If Nimrod steals Diana's Deer,Has not Apollo cause to fear?
