A Candle.
There is a thing which in the LightIs seldom us'd, but in the Night
It serves the Maiden Female crew,
The Ladies, and the Good-wives too:
They use to take it in their hand,
And then it will uprightly stand;
And to a hole they it apply,
Where by its good will it would dye:
25
It leaves its moisture thick and thin.
J. S.
