TO THE LADIES.
FROM THE MILL OF PINDAR COCKLOFT, ESQ.
Though jogging down the hill of life, Without the comfort of a wife ; And though I ne'er a helpmate chose, To stock my house and mend my hose ; 62 SALMAGUNDI.
With care my person to adorn, And spruce me up on Sunday morn ; — = Still do 1 love tlie gentle sex, And still with cares my brain perplex To keep the fair ones of the age Unsullied as the spotless page ; All pure, all simple, all refined, The sweetest solace of mankind.
I hate the loo...se, insidious jest To beauty's modest ear addrest.
And hold that frowns should never fail To check each smooth, but fulsome tale; But he whose impious pen should dare Invade the morals of the fair, To taint that purity divine Which should each female heart enshrine ; Though soft his vicious strains should swell, As those which erst from Gabriel fell, Should 3'et be held aloft to shame.
And foul dishonor shade his name.
Judge, then, my friends, of my surprise, The ire that kmdled in my eyes, When I relate, that t'other day I went a morning-call to pay.
