Nought but Love doth border near it,
Goose and Hen will Witness bear it.
Now to Natland, where choice Beauty,
And a Shepherd do salute me;
Lips I relish richly Roseack,
Purely Nectar and Ambrosiak;
But I'm chaste, as doth become me,
For the Country's Eyes are on me.
Now to Kirkland, truly by it
May that Say be verified:
"Far from God, but near the Temple,
Tho' their Pastor gave Example,
They are such a kind of Vermin,
Pipe they'd rather hear than Sermon.
Now to Kendall for * Cloth-making,
Sight, site, † Alderman awaking;
Beauteous Damsels, modest Mothers,
And her four and twenty Brothers;
Ever in her Honour spreading,
Where I had my Native Breeding.
