A BALLADE.

The maid who pants for lover's sighs,
Doth lay for her own peace a snare;
She rues the conquests of her eyes,
And mourns that she was ever fair:

Then, lasses, mind the proverb well,
‘Too oft the pitcher went to well.’

117

Where Beauty doth display its rose,
In tribes the busy swains are found;
And where the richest nect'rine grows,
The hungry flies will buzz around:

Then, lasses, mind the proverb well,
‘Too oft the pitcher went to well.’
