SOme brag of their Chloris, and some of their
Phillis,
Some cry up their Catia, and bright Amaryllis :
Thus Poets and Lovers their Mistresses dub,
And Goddesses fram'd from the Wash-bowl and Tub ;
But away with these Fictions, and Counterfeit Folly :
There's a thousand more Charms in the Name of my
Dolly.
I cannot describe you her Beauty and Wit,
Like Manna to each she's a relishing Bit ;
She alone by Enjoyment, the more does prevail,
And still with fresh Pleasures does hoist up your Sail :
Nay, had you a Surfeit, but took of all others,
One Look from my Dolly your Stomach recovers.
