AN OCTAUE.
Madame,
I blush, but must obey. you'l have itt soe;And one such word of yours, stopps all excuse:
Yett (pray) be sure that you lett others know
How you, not pride, did mee to this induce;
Else, when to any these harsh rimes you show,
They'l suffer many a flout; I, much abuse:
Since 'tis acknowledg'd that they here have place,
Not for their worth, but merely through your grace.
PATR. CAREY.
