33. On Dinah .
When Dinahs careles Eye was grown too lavishTo entertaine, Sechem found time to ravish:
It is no lesse then silent invitation,
Although we scorne the Sin, to give th'occasion:
Sure, Dinahs Resolution was too strong,
Or to admit, or not resist a Wrong,
And scornes to stoope to the Adult'rers armes;
We often burne, intending but to warme's:
She went but out to see; Perchance, to heare
What Lust could say: What harme to lend an eare
Anothers Sin, sometimes, procures our shames:
It staines our Bodies; or, at least, our Names.
