So He, to quiet love’s alarm,

Took—nature into keeping.

Pickle’s rise gave birth to gall,

She scarcely was respected,

The green-room seem’d a surgeon’s hall,

Her body there dissected;

Tho’, both were sore, she had two eyes,

Said envy’s bitter daughter,

And while she prais’d her legs and thighs,

On c—t she threw cold water.
