*BALLA D.

F all the Girls that e'er were feen,

There's none fo fine as Nelly,

For charming Face, and Shape, and Mien,

And what's not fit to tell ye :

Oh! the turn'd Neck, and fmooth white Skin,

Of lovely dearest Nelly!

For many a Swain it well had been

Had the ne'er palt by Calai-.

For when as Nelly came to France, (Invited by her Coufins)

Acrofs the Tuilleries each Glance

Kill'd Frenchmen by whole Dozens.

The King, as he at Dinner fate,
Did beckon to his Huffar,
And bid him bring his Tabby-Cat,
For charming Nell to buis her.

The Ladies were with Rage provok'd,
To fee her fo respected:

The Men look'd arch, as Nelly ftrok'd,
And Pufs her Tail erected.

But not a Man did Look employ,

Except on pretty Nelly,
Then faid the Duke de Villeroy,
Ab! qu'elle est bien jolie!

But

But who's that grave Philofopher,
That carefully looks a'ter?
By his Concern it shou'd appear,

The Fair one is his Daughter.

i

May foy! (quoth then a Courtier sly,)
He on his Child does lear too :

I wish he has no Mind to try
What fome Papa's will here do.

The Courtiers all with one Accord,
Broke out in Nelly's Praises,
Admir'd her Rofe, and Lys fans farde,
(Which are your Termes Francoifes.).
Then might you fee a painted Ring
Of Dames that food by Nelly;
She like the Pride of all the Spring,
And they, like Fleurs de Palais.

In Marli's Gardens, and St. Clou,
I saw this charming Nelly,
Where fhameless Nymphs, expos'd to View,
Stand naked in each Alley:

But Venus had a brazen Face,

Both at Versailles and Meudon, Or else he had refign'd her Place, And left the Stone fhe flood on.

Where

Were Nelly's Figure mounted there,
'Twould put down all th' Italian::
Lord! how thofe Foreigners would ftare;
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.
