Which well they understand like cunning Queans; And hide their nastiness behind the Scenes.

Which well they understand like cunning Queans; And hide their Nastiness behind the Scenes From him they have allur'd, and wou'd retain, But to a piercing Eye 'tis all in vain: For common Sense brings all their Cheats to view, And the false Light discovers by the true: Which a wise Harlot owns, and hopes to find A Pardon for Defects that run thro' all the kind. Nor always do they feign the Swe … repare. Thus oft the Father's Likeness does prevail In Females, and the Mother's in the Male.

Nor can the vain Decrees of Pow'rs above Deny Production to the Act of Love, Or hinder Fathers of that happy Name, Or with a barren Womb the Matron shame; As many think, who stain with Victims Blood The mournful Altars, and with Incence load: To bless the show'ry Seed with future Life, And to impregnate the well-labour'd Wife.

But if I had been ſeen to write them, the matter would not be much altered.
