Counsel to a Maid.
〈♫〉〈♫〉 CHloris, when e're you do intend to venture at a Bosome-friend, be sure you know your Servant well, before your liberty you fell; for Love's a feaver in young, or old, that's sometimes hot, and sometimes cold; and men you know when e're they please can soon be sick of this disease.

Then wisely chuse a Friend that may
Last for an age, not for a day;
Who loves thee not for Lip or Eye,
But from a mutual Simpathie:
To such a Friend this heart ingage,
For he will court the in old age,
And kiss thy shallow, wrinkl'd brow,
Whith as much Ioy, as he now.
