Thanks To a Vertuous Gentlewoman, who gave him a Dish of Sweet Meats.
What Modest Favour's This forsooth?T'avoyd my Thanks it stops my Mouth.
My Tongue's confin'd to Tast o'th' Meat:
I'm forc'd, as't were, my Words to EAT.

Present them here unto your Eye:
They come at last clad all in Black,
As Mourning that they come so slack.
So High my Gratefull Thoughts doe Swell,
I like the Dish so hugely well;
I Fancy you're a Goddesse, and dare say,
Your Sweet-Meat is Divine-Ambrosia.
