To Ld. Hervey & Lady Mary Wortley
When I but call a flagrant Whore unsound,
Or have a Pimp or Flaterer in the Wind,
Sapho enrag'd crys out your Back is round,
Adonis screams—Ah! Foe to all Mankind!
Or have a Pimp or Flaterer in the Wind,
Sapho enrag'd crys out your Back is round,
Adonis screams—Ah! Foe to all Mankind!
Thanks, dirty Pair! you teach me what to say,
When you attack my Morals, Sense, or Truth,
I answer thus—poor Sapho you grow grey,
And sweet Adonis—you have lost a Tooth.
