A thousand matters filled their souls with glee;

In height the belles were pretty much the same

Like alabaster fair; of perfect frame;

In num'rous corners Cupid nestling lay:

Beneath a stomacher he'd slyly play,

A veil or scapulary, this or that,

Where least the eye of day perceived he sat,

Unless a lover called to mystick bow'rs,

Where he might hearts entwine with chains of flow'rs;

A thousand times a day the urchin flew,
