by Anne Killigrew 1660–1685

From Poems (1686)

Social Commentaries

Wanton Billinda loudly does complain,
I've chang'd my Love of late into disdain:
Calls me unconstant, cause I now adore
The chast Marcella, that lov'd her before.
Sin or Dishonour, me as well may blame,
That I repent, or do avoid a shame.
