THE Young Man's Vindication , A●ainst the Virgin 's Complaint . She rail'd against young Men in a Passion great , But he more mildly seemswith her to treat ; Young Men are not so bad as she would make them . Some Maids a●e full as bad , how e're you take them . Tune o● , The Virgin 's Complaint : or , Cupid's Courtesie .

SWeet Virgin , hath Disdain . mov'd you to Passion , N'er to love Man again , but for the fashion ? Was your abuse so great , beyond all measure , That you can quite for get , to think of Pleasure ? Thou●h one false-hearted Man , 〈◊〉 to be named , Ma●●… you look pale and wan , must all be blamed ? As if scarce one were good , in a whole City ; Your pevish angry Mood , I can but pity . Men are not half so bad , as you would make them ; More Maidens may be had , if you forsake them : Therefore I tell you plain , be not disdain●u● , If Cupid shoot again , you 'll find it painful . Young Men had need beware , least they be taken , And drawn into a Snare and so forsaken . Many Maid's prove untrue , take it for certain , 'T will be too late to rue , of a bad Bargain . Maidens false hearted are , I can report it , Their Craft they will not spare , when they are courted : They 'll bend unto your Bow , their Wits are nimble , It 's very hard to know , wh●n they dissemble . They 'll powder , prank and paint , with each new Fangle , Sometimes sit like a Saint , for to intangle : Their pretty wanton Eyes , are so alluring , Life and Death in them lies , Killing and Curing . Their Beauty 's like a Charm , Lovers intrancing , No Man receives mo●e Harm , then by their Glancing ; Like Syrens they will sing , their Voices ravish , They make the Ecchoes ring , their Tongues are lavish . By such alluring Baits , young Men are taken , And then it is their Fates , to be forsaken : For the seen ticing Girls , are so unconstant , They 're won and lost again , all in an instant . I have experience had of their false dealing , Some of them are so bad , t●ey're not worth stealing , If one in half a s●ore , prove to be Vertuou● , She shall have Suitors store , her Love is precious . Now tell me which are best , young Men or Maidens ? I think 't is here confest , both have their Fai●ings : Therefore be rul'd by me , scorn not a young Man , There 's as much Truth in him , as in a Woman . Virgins take my Advice , be not disdainful , Neither be coy nor nice , squemish nor scornful ; 'T is but a pettish Strain , for to love no Man ; If e're you love again , pray love a young Man . I am resolved now , tho' some miscarry , I 'll have a Virgin too , with her I 'll marry : Fro● love I 'll not refrain , tho' it be common , But when I love again , I 'll love a Woman .
