Counsel to a Maid.
[1]
Chloris , when e're you do intendTo venture at a Bosome-friend,
Be sure you know your Servant well,
Before your liberty you fell;
For Love's a feaver in young, or old,
That's sometimes hot, and sometimes cold;
And men you know when e're they please
Can soon be sick of this disease.

Then wisely chuse a Friend that mayLast for an age, not for a day;
Who loves thee not for Lip or Eye,
But from a mutual Simpathie:
To such a Friend this heart ingage,
For he will court the in old age,
And kiss thy shallow, wrinkl'd brow,
Whith as much Ioy, as he now.
