But now the Vizard's off, She's chang'd her Scene,
And turns a Modest, Civil Girl agen; Let some admire the Fops whose Talent lie Inventing dull, insipid Blasphemy; I swear I cannot with those Terms dispence, Nor won't be Damn'd for the Repute of Sense; I cou'd be Bawdy much, and nick the Times, In what they dearly Love; damn'd Placket Rhimes; But that such Naus'ous Lines can reach no higher Than what the Cod-Piece or Buffoons inspire. To noble Satyr, I'll direct my Aim, And bite Mankind, and Poetry Reclaim; I'll ever use my Wit another Way, And next the Ugliness of Vice display. _Yours, &c._ THE FIFTEEN P----s OF A VIRGIN. |
