FAB. CIX. The Lion in Love.

A Maid who by a Lyon was adord
Consents to love, but first she him implord
To quitt his nailes, and teeth, the Monarch yields
Which done, with ease she her fond Lover kills.

Morall

Almighty Love asailes with powerfull charmes,
And both our Prudence, and our strength disarmes.
