On Mopsa a Chambermaide.
Mopsa advanc'd from th'dairie to her Dame,With her black bag conceal'd from whence she came:
Mopsa o'r her bodie had a tan'd goose skin,
Yet her cloaths hid it, so that was not seen;
Mopsa her face was chinkt and uglie too,
Yet that she salv'd with Arts adulterate hue:
12
Hid her foul thoughts: Stil good she seem'd to be:
Mopsa's wemb swell'd, that fault was also hid
By th'Chaplains cassock whom she married:
But Mopsa's child did like her Master grow:
Alas! poor Mopsa was discover'd now.
