 | The History of Polindor and Flostella |  |
The ground was thus; ere Dawn peep'd on the Globe,
Wild, sharking, handsome Youth, through womans Robe
Nights shades befriended round, had stoln a Girl
From her strickt Guardian (most wealthy Pearl)
Coming acquaintance-like 'bout noon to Chat,
As School-fellow, great Wedding there till late,
When slunk forth (busy'd, dancing all) for flight:
Though follow'd soon that spruce Hermophrodite
Stout Horsemen, strongly informd they passd these Downs;
Both wearing too same colour'd Skarfs, and Gowns,
Like-statur'd Both; whence all this coyl descending:
Flostels close Panting-fit not eas'ly ending.
