Mary Wortley Montagu (Мэри Уортли Монтегю)


Answered, for Lord William Hamilton


Good Madam, when ladies are willing,
A man must needs look like a fool;
For me, I would not give a shilling
For one who would love out of rule.
You should leave us to guess by your blushing,
And not speak the matter so plain;
'Tis ours to write and be pushing,
'Tis yours to affect a disdain.
That you're in a terrible taking,
By all these sweet oglings I see;
But the fruit that can fall without shaking,
Indeed is too mellow for me.

  1. The Fourth Ode of the First Book of Horace Imitated
  2. Epigram, 1734
  3. Ballad, on a Late Occurrence
  4. An Elegy on Mrs. Thompson
