  1. Such from a sister brothers ne'er receive,
  2. But yielding fair ones to warm lovers give.
  3. Not so Diana would to Phoebus press,
  4. But Cytherea so her Mars would bless.
  5. Too far provok'd, at last I cried aloud,
  6. "On whom are pleasures, due to me, bestow'd?
  7. I must not, will not, cannot bear this sight;
  8. 'Tis lawful, sure, to seize upon my right.
