De Myrone & Laide Ausonii. Epig

Of Lais hoary Myron begg'd a Night,
But she repulst him with a slight.
He soon perceiv'd the cause, and his white Head
With shining black soon overspread.
Myron the same in Face, but not in Hue,
Returns his Love-suit to renue.
But Face and Hair compared by the Dame,
Thinking him like, but not the same.
Perhaps the same Top, yet dispos'd to play;
She to the subtle Youth could say;
Fondling, forbear to importune me so,
Thy Father I deny'd, but now.
