On a Slate's falling from a House on Mris. M. M---k's Breast.
Was
Venus angry, and in Spite,
Allow'd that Stane to fa',
Imagining these Breasts so white
Contain'd a Heart of Snaw?
Allow'd that Stane to fa',
Imagining these Breasts so white
Contain'd a Heart of Snaw?
Was her wing'd Son sae cankert set
To wound her lovely Skin,
Because his Arrows could not get
A Passage farder in?
To wound her lovely Skin,
Because his Arrows could not get
A Passage farder in?
No: She is to Love's Goddess dear,
Her smiling Boy's Delight—
It was some Hag that doughtna bear
Sic Charms to vex her Sight.

Some silly sowr pretending Saint,
In Heart an Imp of Hell,
Whase hale Religion lyes in Cant,
Her Vertue in wrang Zeal;
In Heart an Imp of Hell,
Whase hale Religion lyes in Cant,
Her Vertue in wrang Zeal;
She threw the Stane, and ettled Death:
But watching Zylphs flew round,
So guard dear MADIE from all Skaith,
And quickly cur'd the Wound.
