597. CRUELTY BASE IN COMMANDERS.
Nothing can be more loathsome than to see
Power conjoin'd with Nature's cruelty.
599. UPON LUCIA.
I ask'd my Lucia but a kiss,
And she with scorn denied me this;
Say then, how ill should I have sped,
Had I then ask'd her maidenhead?
600. LITTLE AND LOUD.
Little you are, for woman's sake be proud;
For my sake next, though little, be not loud.
601. SHIPWRECK.
He who has suffered shipwreck fears to sail
Upon the seas, though with a gentle gale.
