Matthew Prior. Poems on Several Occasions | ||
In the same Style.
[Fair Susan did her Wif-hede well menteine]
Fair Susan did her Wif-hede well menteine,Algates assaulted sore by Letchours tweine;
Now, and I read aright that Auncient Song,
Olde were the Paramours, the Dame full yong.
Had thilke same Tale in other Guise been tolde;
Had They been Yong (pardie) and She been Olde;
That, by St Kit, had wrought much sorer Tryal:
Full merveillous, I wote, were swilk Denyal.
