〈♫〉〈♫〉 OF all the brisk Dames, Misselina for me; for I love not a Woman un∣less she be free. The Affection that I to my Mistress do pay, grows weary, unless she does meet it half way. There can be no pleasure, 'till humours do hit; and jumping's as good in affection as Wit.

II.
No sooner I came, but she lik'd me as soon;No sooner I ask'd, but she granted my boon:And without a Preamble, a Portion, or Joynture,She promis'd to meet me, where e're I'de appoint her.So we struck up a match, and embraced each other,Without the consent of Father or Mother.

III.
Then away with a Lady that's modest and coy;Let her ends be the pleasures that we do enjoy:Let her tickle her fancy with secret delight,And refuse all the day, what she longs for at night.I believe my Selina, who shews they'r all madTo feed on dry Bones, when Flesh may be had.

Mr. Pelham Humphrey.
