On Person Guilty
XXXVIII.
? TO PERSON GUILTY.
(II)
GUILTY, because I bade you late be wise ;
And to conceal your ulcers, did advise,
You laugh when you are touch'd, and long before
Any man else, you clap your hands and roar,
And cry, good ! good ! This quite perverts my sense,
And lies so far from wit, 'tis impudence.
Believe it, GUILTY, if you lose your shame,
I'll lose my modesty, and tell your name.
