Loves Advice.

Blush not redder than the morning,
Though the Gipsie gives you warning:
Sigh not at the chance befell you,
Though she smile and dares not tell you.

125

Maids like Turtles love the Cooing,
Bill and murmur in their wooing;
Thus like us they'll start and tremble,
And their studied Joys dissemble.
Grasp the pleasure while 'tis coming,
Though your Beauties now are blooming:
Time at last those Joys will sever,
And they'll part, they'll part for ever.
