Another [Epigram]. Imitated from Buchanan.
By the Same.
Phillis
my Thoughts you often pray
About your Face's Wearing,
Yet never credit what I say,
Until you hear me Swearing.
About your Face's Wearing,
Yet never credit what I say,
Until you hear me Swearing.

Then may I want a Place to dwell in,
And a kind buxom She,
If I think Læda, nay or Helen
Can be compar'd with thee.
And a kind buxom She,
If I think Læda, nay or Helen
Can be compar'd with thee.
For Hero's did these Damsels woe,
Yet sigh'd in sober Sadness:
Whoever falls in Love with you,
Runs headlong into Madness.
Yet sigh'd in sober Sadness:
Whoever falls in Love with you,
Runs headlong into Madness.
