An Epigram written by the celebrated Mons. Voltaire, on Madam Pompadour being made Mistress to Lewis the Fifteenth.
IMITATED.
In early youth this lovely maid,By art and nature form'd to please,
In Brothel, Cot, or Masquerade,
And captivate each heart with ease.
Whom, her Mama discreet and wise,
Intended for a Farmer's bed;
But Love, a better judge of eyes,
Gave to a King her Maidenhead.
