In Ligellam, Epig. 90.

Why dost thou reach thy Merkin now half dust?
Why dost provoke the ashes of thy lust?
Girles such lasciviousnesse doth best beseem,
For thou art pass'd old woman in esteem.
That trick (Ligella) suites not, credit mee,
With Hecuba, but young Andromache.
Thou err'st, if this a C--- thou dar'st to call
To which no Prick doth now belong at all,
If thou cann'st blush Ligella, be afear'd
To pull a deceas'd Lyon by the beard.
