[Minerva wandring in a Myrtle Grove]
Minerva wandring in a Myrtle Grove,Accosted thus the smiling Queen of Love,
Revenge your self, you've Cause to be afraid,
Your boasted Pow'r yields to a British Maid:
She seems a Goddess, all her Graces shine;
Love leads her Beauty, which eclipses thine.
Each Youth, I know (says Venus) thinks she's me;
Immediately she speaks, they think she's thee:
Good Pallas, thus you're foil'd as well as I.
Ha, ha! (crys Cupid) that's my MALY SLEIGH.
