  1. And with thick dying accents urge delight.
  2. But when you're dress'd, then look as innocent
  3. As if you knew not what such matters meant;
  4. Cozen the prying town, and put a cheat
  5. On it and me, I'll favour the deceit.
  6. False as thou art, why must I daily see
  7. Th' intriguing billet-doux he sends to thee ?
  8. The wanton sonnet, or soft elegy ?
  9. Why does your bed all tumbled seem to say,
  10. See what they've done, see where the lovers lay!
