7-14 Sep 1721:22 (91)
Fair P--r, sure 'twas wisely, bravely done, 
To shew thy self a modern Amazon, 
Unus'd to hunt, or draw the strenuous bow, 
To poise the lance, or fatal dart to throw;
Yet Atlanta's courage shone in thee, 
That durst approach the monster-bearing tree:
For R--r's arm you marked the destin'd prey, 
Nor fearful turn'd your virgin face away, 
And merited with him the honor of the day.
