Love
To a Lady asking me a Thousand impertinent Questions, which she would have Answer'd
From Amasia (1700), Vol. III
Love
Your swarm of Queries one Just Answer draws,
I did this, that, and every thing — because.
What, wont that Answer do? Now, Jove forbid;
I did this, that, and all; — because I did.
