    _ VI. E. .of DORSET. artemisi A, Artemifia talks, by fits, Of councils, daffies, fathers, wits ; Reads Malbranche, Boyle, and Locke : Yet in fome things methinks fhe fails, ^Twere well if fhe would pare her nails, And wear a cleaner fmock. \ s Haughty and huge as High-Dutch bride. Such naftinefs, and fo much pride, Are oddly join’d by fate : On her large fquab you hnd her fpread. Like a fat corpfe upon a bed, That lies and dinks in date. lO She wears no colours (fign of grace) On any part except her face; All white and black be fide: Dauntiefs her lock, her geflure prOud, Her voice theatrically loud. And mafculine her ftride. 15 So have I feen, in black and white A prating thing, a Magpye hight, Majoftically dalk ; A flaiely, worthlefs animal, • That plies the tongue, and wags the tail. Ail flutter, pride, and talk. 20
