Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: PHYLLIDULA IS SCRAWNY BUT AMOROUS
Last Line: LET HER CHANGE HER RELIGION.

Phyllidula is scrawny but amorous,
Thus have the gods awarded her,
That in pleasure she receives more than she can give;
If she does not count this blessed
Let her change her religion.
