HEfhepherds and the nymphs were feen
Pleading before the Cyprian queen.

a

The council for the fair began,
Accufing the falfe creature man.
The brief with weighty crimes was charg'd,
On which the pleader much enlarg'd;
That Cupid now has loft his art,
Or blunts the point of ev'ry dart ;-
His altar now no longer fmokes,
His mother's aid no youth invokes:
This tempts Free-thinkers to refine,
And bring in doubt their pow'rs divine
Now love is dwindled to intrigue,
And marriage grown a money-league.
Which crimes aforefaid (with her leave)
Were (as he humbly did conceive)
Against our fov'reign lady's peace,
Against the statute in that cafe,

• This poem is founded up on an offer of marriage made by a young lady to her preceptor: whether fuch an incident really happened, or what gave the poet occafion to fuppofe it,

;

need not here be inquired: his
principal defign is to expose the
faults and follies in both sexes,
by which love is degraded, and
marriage rendered fubfervient
to fordid purposes.
