ON PHRINE
Phrine, as odious as Youth well can be,
The Daughter of a Courtier in high Place,
Met with a b--- Mass, that cou'd not see;
His Blindness she, and that excus'd her Face.
Were she not ugly, she wou'd him despise;
Nor wou'd he marry her, if he had Eyes.
To their Defects, they're for the Match in debt,
And, but for Faults on both sides, ne're had met.
