Epigram.
[A wanton Love aside his Quiver laid]
A wanton Love aside his Quiver laid,A Budget took, and went to plow;
And when he'd yok'd the lab'ring Oxens' Head,
He drove, and then begun to sow:
Stopping a while, he cast his Eyes around,
He look'd, at last to Jove he spoke;
Let me not plow in vain, but heat the Ground,
Or else Europa's Bull I'll yoke.
