 | The Grecian Story |  |
Then's House advanc'd, Those Lordships rare; which all
Were his (did say) and should to th' Heirs befall
From his own Body sprung for Everlasting.
Then praises on his Hounds and Horses casting;
But for brave Mouth Jouler did Chant, excel.
If Mouths so brave (Candora joyn'd) 'twere well,
If one had brought to speak for him. when he
(Large smile) reply'd; her self beneath might see
Whole-Brace of them; but those for Hunting noise
Then wooing better far: bad, take her Choice.
