Citation | NHG-P.773.080 17 Sep 1773:41 (883) VIRGINA DIVINA. Thy sex, dear girl, is wisdom's rod, Men to controul by mystic nod, Submissive to thy laws they wait, While grace, nor merit, governs fate. Thy eloquence makes savage tame-- Thy soul divine from heaven came; Thy body clean, with vertue dight; Thy beauty is seraphick light. . . . [20 lines] Orlanda then would stan amaze, On his dear nymph for-ever gaize; Sing, life's no pain, thro' little span, I'll live in love, while I'm a man. |
