151. Upon Paulina.

Paulina her first husband, made a Stag;
Nor had the last, any great cause to brag.
She was as hard as horn, to first, and last;
But all the Interregnum, she was chaste:
Yet not for vertues Love, but her own sake;
Knowing her Tinder, would but touch and take.
Although most urgent Gamesters, came apace;
In her Vacation, she would give no Place.
