Making love to the next mare I think. What think you of him, that Hunt's after my rate and never sees the Dear? Very fair— O the Platoniques. Some severe plot upon a maidenhead. These two young Lords make love, as Embroiderers work against a Mask, night and day; They think importunity a nearer way than merit, and take women as School-boys catch Squirrels. hunt they up and down till they are weary, and fallen down before'em. True, and all the Statesmen hang down their heads, Like full eared corn; two of them where I sup't, asked what time of night it was, and when 'twas told them, started, as if they had been to run a raze. It's early yet; let's go on the Queen's side and fool a little; I love to warm my self before I go to bed, it does beget handsome and sprightly thoughts, and makes our dreams half solid pleasures. Not speak with him my Lord; et I sent in by several men. Right, and have more troubles about'em than a Servingman that has forgotten his message when he's come upon the place.— BY this light—a brave Prince, he made no more of the Guard, than they would of a Taylor on a Mask night, that has refused trusting before.
