Restoration Epigrams<br />

SONG<br />

Pious Selinda goes to prayers,<br />

If I but ask a favour;<br />

And yet the tedder fool's in tears,<br />

When she believes I'll leave her.<br />

Would I were free from this restraint,<br />

Or else had hope to win her!<br />

Would she could make of me a saint,<br />

Or I of her a*sinner!<br />

WILLIAM CONGREVE<br />

SWEET SLUG-A-BED<br />

Myrtilla, early on the lawn,<br />

Steals roses from the blushing dawn,<br />

But when Myrtilla sleeps till ten,<br />

Aurora steals them back agen.<br />

CLOE<br />

ANON<br />

Bright as the day, and like the morning fair,<br />

Such Cloe is, and common as the air.<br />

GEORGE GRANVILLE, LORD LANSDOWNE<br />

DOCTOR FELL<br />

I do not love thee, Doctor Fell,<br />

The reason why I cannot tell,<br />

But this one thing I know full well:<br />

I do not love thee, Doctor Fell.<br />
