Plantonic! — — leave that stale Concern,
A Work design'd for Sages;
What can young blooming Beauty learn
From such cold musty Pages?

II.

Favourite of wrinkled Nymphs decay'd,
(Tho' Strephon 's Name 's a Cover)
'Twas sure by Senesino made,
That fam'd Platonic Lover .

III.

O rather Ovid 's Muse prefer,
Whom all the Fair admire!
To kindred Nymphs your Charms transfer,
Or take from them their Fire.

IV.

In Bloom — — a Toast — your Reverence feign
For Plato 's antient Fashion;
Despise Enjoyment at Eighteen,
And praise ideal Passion.

V.

Coquet! — — — false Cards, and double Play!
The Cheat I plain might view:
Thee shou'd I court the same dull Way,
And turn Platonic too.
