| Cupid's Master-Piece: / OR, / Long Wisht for Comes at Last: Or, / The happy Meeting of William and Mary. / A pretty Damsel of Sixteen 'tis said, / Was Courted; but of Love she was afraid: / She slights sweet William (so she call'd his Name) / He took her first Repulse; then she with shame, / Laments her scornful Folly: Now she Loves, / And languishes with grief, till Cupid moves / Her William once again for to be kind; / Which soon he did perform: Now both are joyn'd / In Love's strict Mutual Bands, and Marryed, / Let none, though once deny'd, in Love despair. | |
