WOMEN, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Give me a girlie (if one I needs must meet)
Last Line: Is to enjoy their ashes, or their fire.
Alternate Author Name(s): Pallades
Subject(s): Women


Give me a Girlie (if one I needs must meet)
Or in her Nuptiall, or her Winding Sheet;
I know but two good Houres that Women have,
One in the Bed, another in the Grave.
Thus of the whole Sex all I would desire,
Is to enjoy their Ashes, or their Fire.
