On a Captain's Sword, lying on a Lady's Whoop.

See, here the Impliments make all Men stoop,
The conqu'ring Sword, and dear deluding Whoop,
The First pains Flesh and Blood to enter in,
The second wounds the Heart but not the Skin.
Let them lift up the First to War incline,
I'll lift the Second up, and have a sweet Campaign.
