Who act those follies, poets toil to write!

The sweating Muse does almost leave the chace;

She puffs, and hardly keeps your Protean vices pace.

Pinch you but in one vice, away you fly

To some new frisk of contrariety.

You roll like snow-balls, gathering as you run,

And get seven devils, when dispossessed of one.

Your Venus once was a Platonic queen,

Nothing of love beside the face was seen;

But every inch of her you now uncase,
