[[Letter from Mistress Price to Lord Chesterfield]]
My Lord
These are the Gloves that I did mentionLast night, and t'was with the intention
That you should give mee thankes and wear them
For I most willingly can spare them.
When you this Packet first doe see
Dam mee, crie you shee has writ to mee
I had better be at Bretby still
Than troubled with love against my will
Besides this is not all my sorrow
Shee writ to day, shee'l come to morrow,
Then you consider the adventure
And think you never shall content her
62
You'l find things are but as they should be
And that tis neither love nor passion
But only for your recreation.
