 | Every Man in his Own Way |  |
The gay Adonis, of a diff'rent Mind,
Counts Love the Summum Bonum of Mankind.
Love is the great Employment of his Life,
A Passion very pleasing to a Wife:
But Wife he is determin'd to have none;
For our penurious Laws allow but one.
Of willing Nymphs he keeps a mighty Store;
Not Solomon himself had many more:
These are his Happiness, tho' Goats may be
Much happier Animals, perhaps, than he.
Counts Love the Summum Bonum of Mankind.
