Several Occasions.
59
The wond'rous Force of Flattery prove,
To cheat fond Virgins into Love:
Tho' Pale the Cheek, yet swear it glows
With the Vermilion of the Rose:
Praise them—for Praise is always true,
Tho' with both Eyes the Cheat they view;
From hateful Truths the Virgin flies;
But the false Sex, is caught with Lyes.
