WHAT dire Offence from Am'rous Causes springs,
What mighty Quarrels rise from Trivial Things,
I sing -- This Verse to @C---l@, Muse! is due;
This, ev'n @Belinda@ may vouchsafe to view:
Slight is the Subject, but not so the Praise,
If She inspire, and He approve my Lays.
Say what strange Motive, Goddess! cou'd compel
A well-bred @Lord@ t'assault a gentle @Belle?@
Oh say what stranger Cause, yet unexplor'd,
Cou'd make a gentle @Belle@ reject a @Lord@?
And dwells such Rage in @softest Bosoms@ then?
And lodge such daring Souls in @Little Men?@
@Sol@ thro' white Curtains did his Beams display,
And op'd those Eyes which brighter shine than they;
@Shock@ just had giv'n himself the rowzing Shake,
And Nymphs prepar'd their @Chocolate@ to take;
Thrice the wrought Slipper knock'd against the Ground,
And striking Watches the tenth Hour resound.
@Belinda@ rose, and 'midst attending Dames
Launch'd on the Bosom of the Silver @Thames@:
A train of . . .
