\nmarried men who love much to Commit Adulteries
\nthan to Divest themselves with Whores.<\/p>\n
\ntheir Gimcracks and kisses she pockets and boxes;
\nher sweet little Commodity.<\/p>\n
\nbut know Lasciviousness:
\nat the Tailors Bakers Coffee-House \u2013 Scoundrels!<\/p>\n
\nin case she obtains her Heats
\n(when she sleeps those eyes dart Amorous Combates \u2019neath drowzy lids).<\/p>\n
\nThe cold air\u2019s Ale stain is all the yeastiness of her Tongue
\nand the nearly-Spring sunset blooms her Pelt.<\/p>\n
\nThe bit in my Jaw hauls this Carcass through March
\nand my Soul is a pulley at the Well of her.<\/p>\n
