An Answer to another perswading a Lady to Marriage.
1.
FOrbear bold Youth, all's Heaven here,And what you do aver,To others Courtship may appear,'Tis Sacriledge to her.
2.
She is a publick Deity,And were't not very oddShe should depose her self to beA petty Houshold God?
3.
First make the Sun in private shine,And bid the World adieu,That so he may his beams confineIn complement to you.
4.
But if of that you do despair,Think how you did amiss,To strive to fix her beams which areMore bright and large than this.
