A POEM In a Letter from a young Lady in Mary's Parish , to a certain young Lady in Andrew's ; for the Loss of her Maiden-head , being a warning to all her Sex . Pritty Maidens have a Care Maiden heads are slippery Ware If you chance them for to Sell Prize nothing less than two Bum Shells . MADAM , TO you I send these Lines In hopes that you 'l set forth my Crimes , To guard our Sex from farther Ills Which follow them like little De'les , For I may self has led the Way And put my Vertue quite astray , Like Venus I 'm a Beauty great And yet my Maiden-head's at Stake , Just as she has been before A little less than Common Whore , Which is a trade much practis'd now And I my self must sit as low , The Female Sex can scarce withstand Temptati●n of the Traytor Man , For they by their Deluding Arts Could bend the strongest Females Hearts , And thus you see I 've been beguil'd And now alass I prove with Child , By all my Arts I could not hide Yet Rue and — I have try'd , Some I have try'd stronger than those And still they do my Work oppose , Since it is so I 'le put a trick On that ungrateful thing a P — k , For it my sorrows first begun And thus fair Lady sets the Sun . Your humble Servant RUS
