WOMEN by PALLADAS

First Line: GIVE ME A GIRLIE (IF ONE I NEEDS MUST MEET)
Last Line: IS TO ENJOY THEIR ASHES, OR THEIR FIRE.
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.
