Advertisement for the Ladies.
THE LADY AND THE WASP.
As Cloe with affected air,
Sat lolling in her easy chair,
An amorous wasp around her flew,
Perch'd on her lip, and sipt the dew:
She frowns, she frets, he makes reply;
With love I burn, I rage, I dye.--
She smiles, forgives, he claps his wings;
But soon she finds that wasps have stings;
Ladies, that are with coxcombs great,
Mourn their ill conduct soon, or late.
