Metaphor in Context
Poll performs her Parts
With such Grace and Arts,
That each Night she conquers Hearts,
Both in Pit and Boxes;
Then refrain,
Be'nt so plain,
Do not stain
Poll with common Doxies;
For she does Charm us all,
For she does Charm us all,
O pretty, pretty Poll.
With such Grace and Arts,
That each Night she conquers Hearts,
Both in Pit and Boxes;
Then refrain,
Be'nt so plain,
Do not stain
Poll with common Doxies;
For she does Charm us all,
For she does Charm us all,
O pretty, pretty Poll.
