ANSWER Octr 1722

When Silvia asks wha can deny

“If you a favour will bestow
that Sentance gars my vitals glow
but you forbid me to Imploy
or name the artilery of the boy
That Callan wha, Ill deedy Shit!
Sae afften on a Poets wit
makes a' his Arrows gleg at point
to Shoot young Hearts quite out of joynt
that done the Wean, black be his fa!
Skips to his Mam with a Gafa
and tells his Pranks—she claps his Pow
Syn frae her Stays new bends his Bow
gies his wee gab the ither Smack
tyes a fou Quiver on his back
with her ain garters—bids him gae
arround the Warld and burn & slae

He's on his march now to our City
wher I'm affraid he'll hae nae Pity

but kill some hundreds in a night
Where yielding Hearts by Candle Light
attend the dear deluding Charms
of Musick sounding saft alarms
which wakens up their Youthfu Glee
and gars them dust it chearfully

He has not yet forsook the Shade
where he has conquerd mony a Maid
then tent O Silvia how ye jest
with him or me his destin'd Priest
obligd, by ane I watna fate
aft at his Altars wild to wait
and sing his Victorys on the Plain
wher the mair Inocent are slain
or in the Brughs wher silk & lace
him aft Repulses with disgrace
and animates the scornfu Belle
his sharpest arrows to repell
tho shot frae wiggs as whyt as milk
or Brawns adorn'd with pearly Silk
when in Array ilk Lad & Lass
come arm'd in Bravery from the Glass
with a fring'd wastcoat Gowdspink Tryes
to save himsel frae Lintwhyts eyes
the shining Gems round Linty's neck

But Love at some unguarded hour
Gets her at last beneath his power
and tho even arm'd in Gowd Brocad

Dear Silvia thus ye see in spite
of my design I'm forc'd to write
nor dare his dread command refuse
who Rules the Sovraign of my muse
