EPIGRAM XXXI.

Sly Dick took his new Spouse to Bed,
And counted on her Maidenhead;
For she was scarce Fourteen:
But hear! the Zone, he judg'd so tight,
Was found unty'd and loosen'd quite.
What may this Wonder mean?

Poor Sylvia, who had her Cue,
Frighted, From his Embrace with-drew,
And beg'd, he wou'd not chide:
With Colin romping th' other Day,
The Bird got out, and fled away;
No Fault of mine, she cry'd.
