To fools who thus advise,

May I be dull enough to grow

Most miserably wise.

To CATHERINE SEDLEY [married Sir David Colyear]

Proud with the spoils of royal cully,

With false pretence to wit and parts,

She swaggers like a battered bully

To try the tempers of men’s hearts.

Though she appear as glittering fine

As gems, and jets, and paints can make her,
