84 LOVE of FAME, Sat. V.

A theme, fair-! doubly kind to me,

Since satyrizing those , is praising thee ;

Who wouldst not bear, too modestly refin’d,

A panegyrick of a grosser kind.

Britannia 1 * Daughters, much more fair than nice,Too fond of Admiration, lose their price;

Worn in the publick eye, give cheap delightTo throngs, and tarnisti to the fated sight.

As unreferv’d, and beauteous, as the Sun, \Thro' every Sign of Vanity they run;

Assembles, parks , coarse feasts in city-halls ,Lectures, and tryals , plays, committees , balls IWells , Bedlams , executions , Smithfield-[c.t nes,And fortune-tellers caves, and lyons dens,Taverns, Exchanges , Bridewells , drawing-rooms,Instalments , pillories , coronations , tombs,

Tumblers,
