TO A LADY ON HER PARROT.
See! lovely Cælia, with what cunning ArtThe little Wanton plays the Lover's Part;
Fain by his Prating would he shew his Love,
And all his Passion by his gesture prove:
Cælia take Care; be not too bold, fair Maid,
Who knows, but Jove lies hid in Masquerade?
Gods have their Tricks, as well as mortal Man,
And Poll's as great a Beau, as Leda's Swan.
