LITTLE’S POEMS.

Oh, shall we not say thou art Love’s duodecimo;

Few can be prettier, none can be less, you know,

Such a volume in sheets were a volume of charms,

Or if bound, it should only be bound in our arms.

Wit restored. In several select poems. 1658.

“A woman is a book, and often found

To prove far better in the sheets than bound;

No marvail, then, why men take such delight

Above all things to study in the night,”
