Epigram 114. To Anne Hill
From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)
Social Commentaries
Nan Hill, th'art good and great: Think it not better
To grow up to a Mountain, and be greater:
With marriage therefore do not be beguil'd;
Y'are made a Mountain if y'are got with child.
But marry (Nan Hill) if you should grow wanton,
Rather then to be worse become a Mountain.
