And 80, in very truth,
At the swift fitting Of her glance,
Did every foolish youth.
Sweet Quaker maid, demure
AS some wood violet,
Or as a wind anemone,
In ferny corner set!
And often would the smiles
Within her dimples Turk,
To see us on each other glare,
Fiercer than bearded Turk.
When sweet Priscilla went
Through every manly heart,
Her Quaker wiles, her Quaker smiles,
Had driven Cupid's dart.
And while each fellow swore
His chance was far ahead,
With some high booted cavalier,
Priscilla, sweet, was wed.
Such worlds depravity
Meath kerchief white and prim,
For while she tried her arts on us,
She was engaged to him.
