The AdviceLady Mary Wortley Montagu (16891762)
C
What you never must enjoy;
She derides your vain aspiring,
She, to all your sex is coy.
Yet she never would incline;
Strephon too, as vainly wooed her,
Though his flocks are more than thine.
By the zone around her waist,
Thrice she bowed, and thrice she vowed,
Like the Goddess, to be chaste.
