The Works of the Late Aaron Hill | ||
On a Lady, preach'd into the Cholic, by one of her Lovers.
Bellona the fierce, who held man in disdain,And despis'd her own sex, to whom love cou'd give pain;
Went to church, in defyance, and met with her fate,
From a pulpited Cupid, who there lay in wait:
But her head was so arm'd, and so hard was her heart,
That his arrows rebounded, in scorn of his art,
Then, with voice of revenge, he exalted his pipes,
Shot in spleen at her belly, and gave her the gripes.
Thus I wound her, cry'd he, in a whimsical place,
'Cause she covers kind wishes, with haughty grimace.
34
She has love in her bowels, tho' she hates in her heart.
