WRITTEN IN A WINDOW, Under some scandalous Reflections on several Ladies.
Behold, ye Fair, on every pane
To rhyme where puny witlings try,
Some lady's reputation slain,
Which there, as in its grave, does lie.
To rhyme where puny witlings try,
Some lady's reputation slain,
Which there, as in its grave, does lie.
Be cautious then to whom ye trust,
Nor credit every Fop's pretence;
But yield, as soon or late ye must,
To youths of secrecy and sense!
Nor credit every Fop's pretence;
But yield, as soon or late ye must,
To youths of secrecy and sense!
