Satire. 51.

[One of the Nation of that sprightfull Frenche.]

One of the Nation of that sprightfull Frenche.
Tooke armes to joyne in battell with a wench:
Well fell hee on; and soe well dealt each blowe


As at the firste he gaue an overthrow,
But fewe there was, which did behoulde that sight,
But Iudg'd the wench would haue the worst ath' fight:
Yet shee in warrs Arte verie pollitick,
Compells hir forces stand: by which same trick,
(Charging againe with all; (who at it would not scoff?
Againe shee (with a Pox) makes him fall off.
His seccond: (a Nation which shall nameles be)
Fell well on too; but cam not off Scott-free,
Yet as the French, at firste encount'red well;
But to retrait (Pox on't) at laste he fell.
Alas the firste soe flesht hir, as that he,
Shee'd ne're endure, to come off quite Scott-free.
