Epig. 18. Pimponello, Flambello, A Dialogue.

Flambello.
Happy Pimpinello, thou
Thriv'st, I prithee tell me how,

Pimpinello.
Learn of me for to engage
If thoul't thrive this Iron Age,
Pleasures at the highest pitch,
Pandora onely can make rich,
No gold, nor meed is held too deare
To buy a Beauty for a yeare,

155

To sin securely, swim in pleasure,
Twice six Moneths:

Flambello.
If that Treasure
May so facily be wonne,
I have a Daughter, she shall shunne
No wealthy Letcher.

Pimpinello.
A match, our Trade
Shall last till Sin, and Pleasure fade.
