In Marli's gardens, and St. Clou,
I faw this charming Nelly,

Where shameless nymphs, expos'd to view,
Stand naked in each alley:
But Venus had a brazen face,
Both at Versailles and Meudon,
Or elfe fhe had refign'd her place,
And left the ftone fhe ftood on.

Were Nelly's figure mounted there,
'Twould put down all th' Italian:
Lord! how those foreigners would stare!
But I fhould turn Pygmalion:
For fpite of lips, and eyes and mien,
Me nothing can delight fo,

As does that part that lies between
Her left toe, and her right toe.

O bright is thy beauty, fo charming thy song,

As had drawn both the beafts and their Orpheus along:

But such is thy avʼrice, and fuch is thy pride, That the beafts must have starv'd, and the poet have dy'd.

On a LADY who p---t at the Tra-
gedy of Cato; occafioned by an Epigram
on a Lady who wept at it.

HILE maudlin whigs deplor'd their
Cato's fate,

WHILE maudlin

Still with dry eyes the tory Celia fate: But, while her pride forbids her tears to flow, The gushing waters find a vent below: Tho' fecret, yet with copious grief she

mourns,

Like twenty river-gods with all their urns. Let others fcrew their hypocritick face, She fhews her grief in a fincerer place: There nature reigns, and paffion void of art;

For that road leads directly to the heart.

* EPIGRAM

In a Maid of Honour's Prayer-Book.

WE HEN Ifrael's daughters mourn'd

their paft offences,

They dealt in fackcloth, and turn'd cinderwenches:

But Richmond's fair ones never fpoil their locks;

They use white powder, and wear bolland fmocks.

Ọ comely church! where females find clean linen

As decent to repent in, as to fin in.

And fav'd him at once from the fhrew and the rabble;

Then ventur'd to give him fome fober advice

But Tom is a person of honour fo nice,
