To get her to untie who drew the knot;
No woman ever at a loss
To mend or mar a matter as she wills.
Yet ’tis an awkward thing to ask a lady,
‘Pray, madam, which of these two sighing swains
Do you like best? or both? or neither, madam?’
Were not a letter best? But then who take it?
Since to commit her letter, would so far
Commit her honour to another’s hands?
By Heaven, I think I’ve nothing left to do,
