GReat Lewis in a mighty heat Was coming from his Bagnio, Endeavouring there to Cure by sweat His Fistula in Anno: An Ogling Prostrate met his Chair, He gazing on the Creature, So Young, so Fair, And full of Air, He doted, he doted on each Feature, Her Charming looks so much prevail'd, They rais'd the Monarchs Passion, Who thought her Beauty far excell'd All others in his Nation; A Peer attending soon was sent To make the Kings addresses, Who could not rest Till he was blest, With her soft sweet, with her soft sweet Embraces. The Courtier with all subtle Art, Declar'd his Sov'raigns Passion, And in soft speeches did impart His Monarchs Inclination, She Proud to think so great a Heart was Conquer'd by her Features, Did soon resort To view the Court, With all its fair, with all its fair fine Creatures.
What Nature wanted, art supply'd With Patches, Paint, and Dresses, Assuming to a stately Pride, Fit for a Kings Embraces: The wanton Dame with looks demure, Disguis'd her jilting Nature, No cunning Whore, E're lookt before, So like a Chast, so like a Modest Creature. The Court her Beauty all Admir'd; And stood in Admiration; The King (whose Leachery Love had fir'd; Soon shew his Am'rous Passion, The glances from her eyes she sent, so Charming were and Pleasing, The Kings Intent, And her Consent, Their Eyes betray'd, their Eyes betray[']d by gazing To close Apartment, she was led A Postrate to his pleasure, But e're the Monarch rose from Bed, she Poxt him out of measure. And e're the symtoms did appear, Five hundred Crowns he gave her, Who soon fled o're Toth' English shore, where any Spark, where any Spark may have her
