EPIGRAM ON A BLIND MAN In Love with a FINE LADY.

Sr. Foplin's blind, yet feels the Lover's Smart,
'Tis hard indeed to loose both Eyes and Heart:
But does he think to keep so rich a Prize,
When Argus fail'd, who had a hundred Eyes?
Come, come, Sr. Foplin! either loose your Chain,
Or else go, get a Brace of Eyes again.
