  1. Let modest words your looser thoughts belie;
  2. When to your private chamber you retire,
  3. Unmask your lust, and vent each warm desire;
  4. Throw off affected coyness, and remove

  6. Talk not of honour, lay that toy aside,
  7. In men 'tis folly, and in women pride;
  8. There without blushes you may naked lie,
