[When once two Hearts which burn with mutual Fires]
When once two Hearts which burn with mutual Fires,
With prudent Care conceal their fierce Desires,
The subtlest He no easy Task will find,
To part that Pair whom ardent Love has join'd.
In vain a Fool may watch them up and down,
He'll scratch his Horns at last, and sighing own,
When Wife and Spark are firm combin'd to gull you,
Do what you please, you'll find yourself their Cully.
