A Song, Counsel to a Maid.
CLoris when e're you do intendTo venture on a bosom Friend,Be sure you know your servant well,Before your libertie you sell.
For Loves a Feaver in young and old,That's sometimes hot and sometimes cold;And men you know when e're they pleaseCan soon be sick of this disease.
Then wisely chuse a freind that mayLast for an Age, not for a day;Who loves thee not for Lip or Eye,But from a Mutual Sympathie.
To such a friend thy Heart engage,For he will court thee in old Age;And kiss thy shallow wrinkled browWith as much joy as he doth now.
