Unto his Serving-man, alias his Boy,
He utters speech exceeding quaint and coy;
Diminutive, and my defective slave,
My pleasures pleasure is, that I must have
My Corps Coverture, and immediately,
T'insconce my person from frigility.
His Man believ's all's Welsh his Master spoke,
Til he rails English, Rogue go fetch my Cloke.
