  1. I know a maid so very fond, and dull,
  2. To me she thinks Callimachus a fool.
  3. I soon am pleas'd with one that's pleas'd with me,
  4. Alike we in our taste and wish agree:
  5. But if the fair my verses don't approve,
  6. I bragging tell her, she will like my love;
  7. If with her tongue, or with her heel she's brisk,
  8. Her prattle pleases, and her gamesome frisk;
