Festum Uoluptatis, Or the Banquet of Pleasure | ||
The civill Devill.
It chanc't one evening as I went abroadTo cheere my cares, and take away my load
Of disagreeing passions, which were bred,
By the distemper of a troubled head;
Midst of my walke, spying an Alley doore,
Which (I protest) I never spyed before,
I entred in, and being entred in,
I found the entry was to th' house of sin;
44
Where the sins protectresse shew'd most modestie.
