- I shall thrust in betwixt, and void of fear
- The manifest adult'rer will appear.
- These things are plain to sight, but more I doubt

- How many love inventions I deplore,
- Which I myself have practis'd all before !
- How oft have I been forc'd the robe to lift
- In company; to make a homely shift
