{ You might damn this, if it were worth your pains;

{ Here's nothing you will like; no fustian scenes,

{ And nothing too of—you know what he means.

No double entendres, which you sparks allow,

To make the ladies look they know not how;

Simply as 'twere, and knowing both together,

Seeming to fan their faces in cold weather.

But here's a story, which no books relate,

Coin'd from our own old poet's addle-pate.
