Love
Thais Metamorphosis
Love
INto Briareus huge
Thais wish'd she might change
Her Man, and pray'd him not thereat to grudge,
Nor fondly thinke it strange;
For if (said she) I might the parts dispose,
I wish you not a hundred Armes nor Hands,
But hundred things like those
With which Priapus in our Garden stands.
