To A Lady, In A Letter
1
Such perfect Blisse faire Chloris, wee
In our Enjoyment prove
'Tis pitty restless Jealiousy
Should Mingle with our Love.
2
Lett us (since witt has taught us how)
Raise pleasure to the Topp
You Rivall Bottle must allow
I'le suffer Rivall Fopp.
3
Thinke not in this, that I designe
A Treason 'gainst Loves Charmes
When following the God of Wine
I Leave my Chloris armes.
4
Since you have that for all your hast
Att which I'le ne're repine
Will take his Likour of as fast
As I can take of mine.
5
There's not A brisk insipid Sparke
That Flutters in the Towne
But with your wanton eyes, you marke
Him out to be your owne.
6
Nor doe you thinke it worth your care
How empty and how dull
The heads of your Admirers are
Soe that their Codds be full.
7
All this you freely may Confesse
Yett wee nere disagree
For did you love your pleasure lesse
You were noe Match for mee.
8
Whilst I my pleasure to pursue
Whole nights am takeing in,
The Lusty Juice of Grapes, take you
The Juice of Lusty Men.
Such perfect Blisse faire Chloris, wee

'Tis pitty restless Jealiousy
Should Mingle with our Love.
