A TRUE MAID by MATTHEW PRIOR

First Line: NO, NO; FOR MY VIRGINITY, / WHEN I LOSE THAT,' SAYS ROSE, 'I'LL DIE'
Last Line: "ROSE, WERE YOU NOT EXTREMELY SICK?'"
Subject(s): WOMEN;

No, no; for my virginity,
When I lose that, says Rose, I'''ll die:
Behind the elms, last night, cried Dick,
Rose, were you not extremely sick?
