UPON JULIA'S FALL, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Julia was carelesse, and withall
Last Line: Because his tongue was ty'd againe.


Julia was carelesse, and withall,
She rather took, then got a fall:
The wanton Ambler chanc'd to see
Part of her leggs sinceritie:
And ravish'd thus, It came to passe,
The Nagge (like to the Prophets Asse)
Began to speak, and would have been
A telling what rare sights h'ad seen:
And had told all; but did refraine,
Because his Tongue was ty'd againe.
