XXXVI. To my Lady Venetia Grey.

Madam, from whom vertue might copies take,
And Nature learn more beauteous forms to make,
Chide not my Muse, your humblest servant, when
Even in your softer sex she spares not sin,
Since this e're was and e're shall be her care
To tax the crimes but yet the persons spare.
