Bright pearl in Natures eye, I have made a journey from my looking-glass hither, that I may present you my exiguous devoires.
Sir, Your exquisite knowledge in the service of Ladies emboldens me to desire a ••avour of your hands, that you would be pleas'd, the maids being all busie in washing, to help me to comb my head.
Lady, The softness of your Hair betrays the softness of your disposition, and indeed how should it be otherwise, it having been so long sleek'd with the smoothing-iron of a mild and gentle education.
Sir, As one shoulder of mutton drives down another, so the readiness wherewith you have done me one courtesie makes me to request another from you, that when my Lady is engag'd abroad in company, you would be pleas'd to carry a Complement from me to a Sweet-heart of mine, a Barber in Fleet-street; I can assure you, that for my sake, he will give you a cast of his Office for nothing at any time.
Lady, You have ript up an old sore in my heart, which hath been wounded long ago by your Beauty; for it was now my intention to have ingrafted my self into your affection.
Oh, Sir, I dare not presume upon a man that goes before my Lady; beside, that your Periwig and the smallness of the Calf of your Leg, would cause the Hickup in my Fancy should you urge your request any further, and therefore I implore you to desist.
