 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 47. Of Helens welcomming Paris.
Faire Helen, from her high Heptaphonot,Behold her Loue, her Deere, her secret Friend,
With cheekes more blushing then the crimson Rose,
As if her hue told what she did intend
Th'ensuing Night; when, playing with her Guest,
She wan much pleasure though she lost her Rest.
