47. EPIGRAM. On Zoilus.
WHen thou nor Wealth, nor Beauty can'st pretend,Thy self by Birth or Bravery commend,Which are the things take with the fairer Sex,Them, with thy hourly Courtship, why do'st vex?The young and old thy very sight detest,Thy Rivals thee affront, and make their Jest.A Lover's high Ambition's to be priz'd;Is thine alone to be of all despis'd?
