Upon A New-fashion'd Table-Book, Sent Him for a Token from Amsterdam.
Suppose this Book the Table beOf a cleer Heart engag'd to Thee,
Wherein could I so pithy prove,
As write the story of our Love;
Within each Leaf I wold infold
The brightest Characters of Gold.
But how can such large Matter be
Couch'd in so streight a room by Me?
Unless I had His Art who put
Great Honters Iliads in a Nut.
