3325,"","Searching ""brain"" and ""impression"" in HDIS (Poetry)",2005-05-18 00:00:00 UTC,At modern Rome an easy Nymph was bred
In tender tales & soft Romances read
These on the brain a wild impression brought
& made her sure she saw what ere she thought
Within her Fancy shady groves were reard
& Dancing nymphs & piping swains appeard
Complaints were heard rewarded passions glowd
A plain extended & a river flowd
But Soon Alas her friends successfull care
from the sweet frenzy disengagd ye fair
Untimely friends restore my Joys again
Restore my grove my river & my plain
She often cryd & often cryd in vain
Till a bright youth with skill to manage came
Who while he fed her fancy raisd her flame
Then the fond creature lost her heedless heart

Fair Woman, 'tis but her Idea
If You her real Lipps Salute
Or but their shade, will bear dispute.
Look there say You I see a Horse
Lord Sir how idly you discoarse?
I see a Horse, I'm sure that's true.
I say the Devil a Horse see You;
You see a Horses Image, lain
In Miniature upon your brain;
But what you take for fourteen hand,
Is less than half a grain of sand.
Things must be stated by their Nature;
The Less can't comprehend the greater.
Now if your Groom would n'er be Able
To gett old Crop into the Stable,
Unless pray Mind the Door at least
Was something larger than the beast:
The Fellow sure would never be
Devoid of Sence to that degree,
As to desire, much less to try,
To thrust his Nagg into your Eye.
