VII. I am a poor Shepherd undone, &c.
When my Lover his Suit did begin,And open'd his Veins ev'ry Way,
It was so sweet I could not refrain
From sporting in Venus's Play,
His exceeding GAY Air and Mien,
Had such Influence over me,
That I thought RICH alias LUN,
Had been enjoying of my Body.
And alas, poor Polly!
Alack and well-a-day!
Before I was in Love,
Oh! every Month was May.
