For your better health; look no more upon 't,

Was prophet to the rest, but ne'er believed.”

To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;

Into this breathing world, scarse half made up,
And that so lamely and unfashionable
That dogs bark at me as I halt by them.”

And that thou wast unkind thou mayst repent.”
