First Line: When israel's daughters mourn'd their past offences

Subject(s): Courts & Courtiers
When Israel's Daughters mourn'd their past Offences,
They dealt in Sackcloth, and turn'd Cynder-Wenches:
But Richmond's Fair-ones never spoil their Locks,
They use white Powder, and wear Holland-Smocks.
O comely Church! where Females find clean Linen
As decent to repent in, as to sin in.
