As Rivals of each other jealous prove,
And both strive which shall gain the Lady’s Love,
So we for your Affections daily vie:
Not [an Intriguer] in the Gallery
(Who squeezes hand of Phillis mask’d, that stood
Ogling for Sale, in Velvet Scarf and Hood)
Can with more Passion his dear Nymph pursue,
Than we to make Diversion fit for you.
Grant we may please, and we’ve our utmost Aim,
’Tis to your Favour only we lay claim.
