How soon her former Resolutions melt?
Her beating Heart with doubtful Ardour burns,
And Modesty and Love prevail by Turns;
Her Redden'd Cheeks with conscious Blushes glow,
Her wanton Looks, her wanton Wishes show;
Her Heaving Breasts with rising Passions swell,
And Silence speaks what Words want Pow'r to tell;
Sleep shun'd her Eyes, her Soul abandoned Rest,
And Love and ev'ry Look confest.

He saw—and thought the alteration strange;
But well he knew the Sex were prone to change;
