X. All in the Downs the Fleet was moor'd, &c.

Virtue, dear Sir, needs no Defence,
Lest it should it self surprize;
The surest Guard is Innocence,
Which every Female ought to prize,
And bless the Powers that hath her endow'd
With no such Charms as for to be belov'd.
Come all you of the Female Kind,
That can Love when Necessity calls,
And can feign a being kind,
To prevent you from the Man's enthrols.
Never let your Minds to them be inclin'd,
If you do, at last, you'll find them unkind.
