AN ABSOLUTE ACROSTIC,
And Alliterate Alphabetical Address al aimable Anna.
1. HOPE.
Angel I call her and angelical,Neat, nun-apparell'd, Nature's Nonpareil;
Nancy needs nothing, nothing needs Nan's Eye,
Arch-brow'd and arch with amorous amity.
2. DISAPPOINTMENT.
Ha! happy hours, how hearty heretofore!All arm'd, alas! against a Lass alarming.
We went on! wanton wenches willows wore,
Kind kissing Creatures, cherry-cheek'd and charming.
Yield back your yesterdays ye years of yore!
Nan's naughty now, I nought, do not I know her?
So sour, so shy she seems, she'd seen me sigh so sore.
