CHORUS Gentium, &c.
Soror nostra parva & ubera non habet.
Chorus.
A LITTLE Sister yet we have,
For whom we'd Loves assistance crave.
Young, and little, though she 'is yet,
And her Brest not fully set,
Tho as yet no Breasts she has,
Grow our Sister does apace.
But if thus high Loves price does go,
What shall we for our little Sister do,
When the time comes, that we should her bestow?
