IF truth give pleasure surely we should try	A
To found our tales on what we can rely	A
Th' experiment repeatedly I've made	B
And seen how much realities persuade	B
They draw attention confidence awake	C
Fictitious names however we should take	C
And then the rest detail without disguise	D
'Tis thus I mean to manage my supplies	D
	-
IT happened then near Mans a Normand town	E
For sapient people always of renown	E
A maid not long ago a lover had	F
Brisk pleasing ev'ry way a handsome lad	F
The down as yet was scarcely on his chin	G
The girl was such as many wished to win	G
Had charms and fortune all that was desired	H
And by the Mansian sparks was much admired	H
Around they swarmed but vain was all their art	I
Too much our youth possessed the damsel's heart	I
	-
THE parents in their wisdom meant the fair	J
Should marry one who was a wealthy heir	J
But she contrived to manage matters well	K
In spite of ev'ry thing which might repel	K
I know not how at length he had access	L
Though whether through indulgence or address	L
It matters not perhaps his noble blood	M
Might work a change when fully understood	N
The LUCKY ev'ry thing contrives to please	O
The rest can nothing but misfortune seize	O
	-
THE lover had success the parents thought	P
His merit such as prudence would have sought	P
What more to wish the miser's hoarded store	Q
The golden age's wealth is now no more	Q
A silly shadow phantom of the brain	R
O happy time I see indeed with pain	R
Thou wilt return in MAINE thou shalt arise	D
Thy innocence we fondly may surmise	D
Had seconded our lover's ardent flame	S
And hastened his possession of the dame	S
	-
THE slowness usually in parents found	T
Induced the girl whose heart by LOVE was bound	T
To celebrate the Hymeneal scene	U
As in the statutes of Cythera's queen	U
Our legendary writers this define	V
A present contract where they nothing sign	V
The thing is common marriage made in haste	W
LOVE'S perparation Hymen's bit for taste	W
	-
	-
NOT much examination Cupid made	B
As parent lawyer priest he lent his aid	B
And soon concluded matters as desired	H
The Mansian wisdom no ways was required	H
	-
OUR spark was satisfied and with his belle	K
Passed nights so happy nothing could excel	K
'Twere easy to explain the double keys	O
And gifts designed the chambermaid to please	O
Made all secure and ev'ry joy abound	T
The soft delights with secrecy were crowned	T
	-
IT happened that our fair one evening said	X
To her who of each infant step had led	X
But of the present secret nothing knew	Y
I feel unwell pray tell me what to do	Y
The other answered you my dear must take	C
A remedy that easily I'll make	C
A clyster you shall have to morrow morn	Z
By me most willingly it will be borne	Z
	-
WHEN midnight came the sly gallant appeared	A2
Unluckily no doubt but he revered	A2
The moments that so pleasantly were passed	B2
Which always seemed he thought to glide too fast	B2
Relief he sought for ev'ry one below	C2
Is destined torments more or less to know	C2
He not a word was told of things designed	D2
And just as our gallant to sleep inclined	D2
As oft's the case at length with lovers true	Y
Quite open bright Aurora's portals flew	Y
And with a smile the aged dame arrived	E2
The apparatus properly contrived	E2
Was in her hand she hastened to the bed	X
And took the side that to the stripling led	X
	-
OUR lady fair was instantly confused	F2
Or she precaution properly had used	F2
'Twas easy to have kept a steady face	G2
And 'neath the clothes the other's head to place	G2
Pass presently beyond the hidden swain	R
And t'other side with rapid motion gain	R
A thing quite natural we should suppose	H2
But fears o'erpow'red the frightened damsel chose	H2
To hide herself then whispered her gallant	I2
What mighty terrors made her bosom pant	J2
The youth was sage and coolly undertook	K2
To offer for her t'other 'gan to look	K2
With spectacles on nose soon all went right	L2
Adieu she cried and then withdrew from sight	L2
Heav'n guard her steps and all conduct away	M2
Whose presence secret friendships would betray	M2
	-
SHOULD this be thought a silly idle tale	N2
And that opinion may perhaps prevail	N2
To censure me enough will surely try	A
For criticks are severe and these will cry	A
Your lady like a simpleton escaped	O2
Her character you better might have shaped	O2
Which makes us doubt the truth of what is told	P2
Naught in your prologue like it we behold	P2
	-
'TWERE sueless to reply 'twould endless prove	Q2
No arguments such censurers could move	Q2
On men like these devoid of sense or taste	W
In vain might Cicero his rhet'rick waste	W
Sufficient 'tis for me that what is here	R2
I got from those who ev'ry where appear	S2
The friends of truth let others say the same	S
What more would they expect should be my aim	S
